[Resolved]  Irctc — bribery and corruption

Address:

Aurangabad, Maharashtra

I am a senior citizen . I traveled in Sachkhand Express on 28th sept. 2013.on a valid ticket. Early in the morning near Agra a Senior Ticket Checker named S.L.Gaud came to check the ticket. I handed over the ticket and asked me for Photo ID. I gave him my Pan card. He inspected it and asked me to come outside near wash basin of coach.He told me that my pan card is a forge one and a photocopy and that he can hand over me to Police at Agra and asked me for rs.500/-. I told him that it is not legal .he was very upset and got angry and told in a very insulting and humiliating manner that now he is going to teach me what is legal. ( His exact words are reproduced by me in the detailed complaint with Chief Vigilance Officer through E-mail ) the STC seized my pan card and forced me to pay penalty of Rs.2870/- and gave me the receipt stating that the pan-card has been deposited for further action. I have already posted my grievance vide # MORLY/E/2013/08255 but have no response so far. iT SEEMS THAT THE Indian Railway is try to protect the culprit as there has been complete silence from the IRTC till to day. The Chief Vigilance Officer had no time to look in this serious matter, neither the grievance cell. Since my pan card has been illegitimately seized by the STC and I was forced to pay irrelevant, Incompetent and illegitimate charges on my refusal to surrender before corrupt demand. I ask the competent One to refund the amount forcefully collected from me with my pan card. At the same time I request you to please reply with the E-mail address of Hon'ble Railway minister so that I can put my grievance before him. I want you to know that if the Justice is not imparted by IRTC to me I will will be left no alternative other then to sit on HUNGER STRIKE on Aurangabad Ralway Station and send the copies of whole correspondence including the copy of my letter to Chief Vigilance Officer, Copy of my grievance already posted to the media and Hon'ble Railway Minister, H.E.the Prime Minister.
