Southern Railway — racist behavior of tte

Dear admin,

I, along with 2 of my family members boarderd into the tatanagar-alappey dhanbad express in palakkad junction at 10.35am on 01.03.2018.

We all reserved our tickets for the journey.

I am a tax paying proud citizen of india hailing from chennai, tamil nadu.

At once we boarded on the train, the tte in the st5 coach mistreated us, called me in singular word without having a thought for asking politely whether we have reserved our tickets or not.

When i asked what's wrong, and showed him that i have my valid reserved tickets and showed him my id proof, he said exactly as below: "the people who are looking like you (Note: i was wearing traditional dhoti and shirt) will always board the train without tickets. Hence i thought you also would be one of them"

He never had a courtesy to feel sorry for his racist behavior against me and my family.

Request you to take my above statement as an official complaint against the tte for expressing hatred and racist behavior against us and mistreating the tax paying citizen of india.

Hope you will take necessary action against the tte or please advise me what to do to take a legal action against him in the honourable high court, chennai.

My journey details are attached and the disrespectful tte details are as below,

Tte name: mr. Chinna swamy
