Indian Railways — bribery of ticket collector

Hi, please consider this as my manifestation of concern regarding the recent incident i have faced during my family trip at tarapith. I have booked my ticket from sealdah to tarapith (Pnr [protected]). On the date of journey i had missed the tarapith station as that was a small one and i was completely unaware of the route. We got down from train at rampurhat and there were no way to extend my ticket in a running train and no tt was there in train checking our tickets. At the station i had showed the documents to the tt (551134) and explained the untoward predicament. My father was with me and he is a diabetic patient takes insulin every day so i was in a hurry to reach hotel at earliest but that very moment that tt started taking advantage of this whole situation and from his it was clear from his acts that he was trying to make some money in illegal way. After getting the pnr he was checking the pnr in makemytrip app while his internet was off. I have no idea what was use of such # acting when i was showing him the printout of my ticket. Then he was trying to take advantage of our situation and indirectly asking for some bribery and want to make some adjustment. I was very annoyed with such irresponsible behaviour and insisted him to complete the formalities legally and also asked for his name and employee id. Firstly he was showing attitude telling his name but when i have said that i will complain against him then he was totally changed his position and was reluctant to tell his name. If i would have any intention to go for one more station then i could have booked ticket for rampurhat, it was available at the time of booking and it wouldn’t cost much more. Like all and sundry we could have escape the checking rather than explain the unavoidable situation. I have availed my return journey from tarapith station you can check that for my return ticket. You can check my ticket details and i am ready to provide all necessary documents to proceed further. I hope the authority will react on this inhuman act of your employee and take disciplinary action.
Regards,
Sauradeep das

Reply i have received "as per railway's extant rules, overriding is treated as travelling with improper ticket and railway dues including higher excess fare are realised from the passengers detected to have overridden. The on duty ticket checking staff are supposed to realise such due."

I am quite aware of the legal procedures of travelling without ticket and escalation matrix. If i am not wrong in the complaint i have mentioned about bribery and heinous acts of the ticket collector. There is no use of such trivial reply over closure comments.in other words management is supporting the corrupted action of his employees.
