TTE charged me for proving my Identity
- Railways
- Tatkal Ticket
- Paid INR 300
I boarded Avantika Express On January 20th 2015 from Indore, heading towards Mumbai. I had booked an Tatkal ticket a day before for rs. 566.24 and I got seat no 21 of S8 coach. I didnt knew that i had to carry a original Identity proof wit h me during my journey, although i had copies of several identity cards of mine namely- PAN card, Driving License, College ID etc.
A TTE came to me and asked for the ticket, which i provided him. After seeing the ticket he asked for an ID proof, I gave him copies of my Identity Cards, to which he denied and asked me for an original Identity proof.
I accept my mistake of not bringing my originals with me, but all my ID card copies were Colored copies with my picture on them too.
After few minutes of arguing with me, the TTE became violent. He threatened me to call the RPF and getting me jailed.
I tried to appease him, but he grew more violent and started abusing me and using harsh language. He threatened me to press several more charges on me, if i didn't pay some 800rs to him.
I revolted because he was forcing me to prove my own identity to him, despite of me having several ID copies as a proof. He Just wanted me to bribe him.
He came to my berth at every major station asking me to get down from the train from no reason.
Finally, he approached me at 8PM at night, after 4 hrs of unnecessary and harsh comments, and asked me how much cash i had ?
He then negotiated it to 300rs and took three hundred rupees from me, without any slip as well.
I have made a secret video of the incident as well.
Kindly take proper actions against such people.
He boards the train from Indore.
