This is hirdesh sihare, deputy director
My father & sister is travelling from gwalior to hazart nizzamuddin delhi dated 3/6/2017 in swarn jayatee train having train no. 12803.
My sister has got reservation from above source to destination in coach s5 seat no 21 and my father could not get reservation due to some reason and took ticket for general boggy,
In midway my father went to visit my sisters seat just for the safety and security reason, is everything is fine (As we are aware of that many incidents are happening with passengers while travelling for example recently incident happened with my bhabhi ji, luggage including mobile and some ornaments cost of rs. 30-35 thousand looted by someone while travelling in indian railways).
So, my father went and checked, everything is fine, in mean while tte visited there and ask my father to produce the ticket for reservation boggy and then my father conveyed complete story to the tte and made sure, he will go back to his seat but tte didnt listen and forcibly charged penalty of rs. 350/- from my father.
Please let me know
1. Visting to a reservation boggy for checking purpose, is everything is fine with family members is wrong, really he has done some mistakes, really he is guilty, where this kind of penalty is mentioned in any rule book or in any indian railway documents.
2. I checked the status of train, if seats are available and lying vacant then why difference was not made and charged.
3. After charging rs. 350/- why particular seat was not allotted
4. My father is senior citizen, he was charged and misbehaved by tte why?
5. As government is announcing facilities to the senior citizen and also announcing rate cut in tickets but i am socked, what kind of treatment is being given to the senior citizen passengers in indian railways
Therefore, you are kindly requested to look into the matter and my amount may please be refunded
And strong action may please be taken against the tte belongs to coach s5 train no 12803 swarn jayanti or i would say he must be terminated immediately from his services
