Indian Railways — harassment by ttes | |
I am a serving senior officer of indian army. I booked tickets for me and my wife by 22481 jodhpur delhi sarai rohilla sup exp on 14 oct 17. Sch arr at sarai rohilla was at 0520 on 15 oct 17. The next connecting train was 12011 kalka shatabdi, sch dep at 0740 on 15 oct 17 from new delhi. (Photo of both tickets attatched) 22481 arr at delhi cantt at 0954 ie more than 4 hours late and by then i had missed the connecting train. I was confirmed by the tte that i could travel in any subsequent train on the same ticket after getting endorsement from the station master. I confirmed about the same from online also. I checked about availability of the next trains and reservations. Fortunately i found more than 100 seats available in the evening 12005 kalka shatabdi. I met the tte at the train, showed him my tickets and the endorsement of delay of first train and boarded the train. Since there were many vacant seats we managed to find the sets as well. After about one and half hour the tte asked me to come out of the cabin and started telling me that i was a "ticketless traveller" and asked me to pay. I showed him my identity card and the tickets and explained to him the complete circumstances but he remained adamant and refused to see any logic or the rules. He got hold of another tte and rpf jawans and started threatening me. Even i refused to pay up and asked him to make the proper tickets instead. Finally he prepared an excess fare ticket no 278581 of rs 3340/- (Double amount with penalty) (Photo attatched) and i paid the amount. The names of the two ttes are as follows:- Mr kp singh Mr bhupinder singh Was this information helpful? | |
