I with my sister had come to drop my brother at kjm railway station and my platform ticket was mistakenly carried away by my brother while he boarded the train and left. When i was asked for the platform ticket by the ticket checker, i had no choice but to ask him if i could show him the picture of it. He refused to listen anything and told me that i will have to pay him 280rs each for me and my sister. I was aware that it is only rs. 250 fine for not carrying platform ticket. I don't know how fair was that. Also, he being a staff of railway asked us to cross the tracks with 10 other people to go to his office to pay the fine. How is it for the officer to break the railway rule different than normal people doing the same. Crossing the railway line from between is that risky in this station and knowing the same he forced people to do so just for earning money from fine amount. When me and my sister chose not to follow him and take the skywalk he threatened us and asked us to walk back by shouting back at us. Something like this from railway staff is just annoying and disregard to the laws of railways. I being a lawyer know how law works and breaking law from a staff is more unfair and subject to penalty. I don't understand who takes action against them.
