I had gone to saharanpur to attend the funeral fo my sister. Since the travel was in emergency, i did not have ac coach reservations.
On 12th october 2016, i was traveling back to delhi from saharanpur by ujjaiyani express. Train number 14310. I bought a normal ticket and went to the tte to ask for a ac coach ticket since i was traveling alone and being a woman wanted to be safe.
There was no seat availability in ac coaches, so the tte asked me to sit in the sleeper coach s1.
I sat in the sleeper coach and waited for the tte to come and cut the reciept for the balance amount.
Instead of the tte there was a lady dressed in khaki who enetered the coach between saharanpur and deoband stations and said that she was from the magistrate squad. She checked my ticket and i asked her to give me the reciept for the sleeper class after charging the balance amount.
She instead asked me for rs. 310/-. I did not realise why the fare is so high because i was pre-occupied and disturbed due to my sister's death.
I already had a ticket for ordinary class for rs. 70/- and the balance amount to be paid should have been only 70/- as the sleeper class costed 140/- and ac three tier costed rs. 490/-. So basically she charged me almost 3 tier fare.
After she left i realised that she has overcharged me.
I looked for her in the train and spotted her getting off at deoband station. I went to her and asked her why has she charged me so much and that i had the ticket for ordinary class plus the tte had asked me to sit in s1. She started telling me it was penalty and that i should have informed her that the tte has asked me to sit there.
I told her that i did not know that this needs to be told.
I then asked her for her name and id, on that she started speaking to me rudely. I then told her that i would need to take her picture. She then started getting physically abusive with me. Started to snatch my phone from me, scratched me and pulled my shirt. She molested me by pulling my shirt, and my innerwear was showing with the public looking at the whole incident quietly.
I am appalled by this behaviour of hers. While i could not manage to get a clear front picture of hers, i could only catch her side profile.
