Reported on March 9, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #26976

Hi Friends, Thought i would never b visiting this Website, But thanks to Indian Railways which made it possible.

Me & my friend were traveling from Bangalore to Tumkur in ********** Chennamma Express @ 9:15 yesterday i.e on 3-8-11 & i had ticket but it was general & literally there was no place even to stand in that General compartment which are hardly 4 in no & the rest are reservation.so with no choice i got into the reservation ones & i was standing at the door as i was not supposed to sit even though the seats are vacant. A TT came asked us the ticket which i showed after which he demanded the bribe openly & directly on my face for entering the reservation compartment if not he'll take us to Railway Police or put a fine of some 300/- odd.I requested him but he didn't oblige & moreover many people like me we giving him bribe & also told us to do so. I was so Compelled i had to surrender my 50 bugs to him & that's all i got.His last name was Mehtha & his first name was not clearly visible, may b susheel i guess.

My only question to authorities when there is no place even to stand in an compartment, they why issue **********lot of tickets or why don't u just increase those general compartments. Or at least for god sake allow us to stand at least in those so called reservation compartments.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
