Dear Sir, I am Snehashish Biswas. On 5th May at 8.30 I brought two tickets of Bhagirathi Express, from Krishnanagar to Sealdah for me and my friend. I was going to attend a business meeting in Kolkata, so I was in a hurry. After leaving ticket counter, I saw train has arrived and I mistakenly boarded on a Non AC Reserved compartment. One RPF personal was there beside the gate, he came in front of me and asked me ticket (I think he was not authorized to check ticket) and when he saw it is non reservation ticket, he told me to come down with him. I told many time that it was not my intention to board on a reserved compartment and because there was no list beside the door and no indication (Except a small board on middle of compartment) or announcement and I am not a regular passenger, so mistake was happened, please leave me. He not only refused but did not listen to me. Then I asked him please take penalty and leave me, so that I can board on that train. He ordered me to stand there on platform until the train passed. After that he took me to RPF camp at the station and put me to the lock up. Intensity of RPFs stuff over there was not to prevent people boarding reserved compartment but to set up trap and catch innocent people and put them into lock up, threaten them about sending them to court and get money and don’t give them any money receipt so that they can make any complain. Still I am launching this complain on a hope that this kind of stuffs should be discarded fromour system. So that common people would not be treated like criminals and get proper respect. At last I gave them Rs 1000/- for bail and left custody without having a money receipt. Sir, it was my first time in lock up.
