‘Serve Me Tea': Audacious Order To TTE Exposes Fake Railway Officer On Bihar Train
1/7
Indian Railways, a cornerstone of public transport in India, carries millions of passengers daily. Many choose rail travel for its perceived comfort, particularly on long journeys. The organisation continually works to ensure passenger safety and seamless travel. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) work to prevent crime, while Travelling Ticket Examiners (TTEs) monitor ticket validity. Despite these efforts, serious offences continue to occur. A recent incident on a train in Darbhanga, Bihar, surprised railway staff, from TTEs to GRP officers.
The incident unfolded on June 5, 2025 aboard the Swadhin Senani Express. A man, dressed inconspicuously, entered the H-1 coach. He introduced himself to the train conductor as Alok Kumar Jha, claiming to be the Additional Divisional Railway Manager (ADRM) of Samastipur, Bihar. He then settled in and ordered tea. The situation changed drastically when the train arrived at Darbhanga station.

On-duty GRP officers boarded the train and grew suspicious of the self-proclaimed ADRM. They contacted the Board Security Control Room in Samastipur to verify his identity. The truth quickly emerged, and the GRP Darbhanga and Chief Ticket Inspector In-charge (CTTI) teams promptly arrested the man.
A video of the incident has been released, shocking railway employees. It depicts the man impersonating a senior railway official. When asked for identification, he became disruptive. Under questioning by the GRP, his impersonation was revealed.
During interrogation, the man finally confessed his true identity: Durga Kant Chowdhury from Nohan Badhiam, Madhubani. When pressed by the RPF Sub-Inspector, he initially claimed to be Alok Kumar Jha, the ADRM. But the officer, firm and relentless, demanded proof and challenged his story. Cornered, the man admitted he was only the ADRM's nephew. The Sub-Inspector ordered him to leave the train, warning release would come only if the real ADRM confirmed. In that moment, the man's carefully crafted disguise shattered, caught between relief and the threat of exposure.

Viral video of handcuffed student: India formally raises matter with US Embassy
New Delhi/New York: The government has reacted strongly to a social media post claiming that an Indian national has been detained at Newark Airport in New Jersey, formally raising the matter with the US Embassy in New Delhi, top sources revealed on Tuesday. "Our Embassy in Washington DC and the Indian Consulate in New York have also been in touch with the US authorities to ascertain the details. We have so far have not received any details about the incident or the circumstances under which he was restrained, the flight he had to board or boarded and his final destination. We continue to follow up on the matter," said an official at the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). A video which has sparked social media outrage and was shared by an Indo-American entrepreneur claimed that an Indian student was handcuffed and pinned to the ground by the US authorities at the Newark Airport in New Jersey. The businessman stated that the student was treated like a criminal before being deported. "I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night — handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. He came chasing dreams, not causing harm. As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken. This is a human tragedy," he posted on X. The Indian Consulate General in New York, while responding to the incident, claimed that it has raised the matter with the local authorities. "We have come across social media posts claiming that an Indian national is facing difficulties at Newark Liberty International Airport. We are in touch with local authorities in this regard. The Consulate remains ever committed for the welfare of Indian Nationals," the Consulate General in New York posted on X. The US Embassy in India also issued a warning on Tuesday stating that the United States will not accept any illegal entry, abuse of visas, or violation of its laws. "The United States continues to welcome legitimate travellers to our country. However, there is no right to visit the United States. We cannot and will not tolerate illegal entry, abuse of visas, or the violation of US law," the Embassy posted on X. Meanwhile, an extensive travel ban issued by US President Donald Trump took effect amid growing chaos over the US administration's immigration enforcement. Over the weekend, protesters clashed and faced off with National Guard troops in downtown Los Angeles during several demonstrations against immigration raids that swept across California. Trump signed a proclamation last week, fully banning the entry of nationals from 12 countries, namely Afghanistan, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, citing national security risks. According to a statement issued by the White House, these countries were found "to be deficient with regards to screening and vetting and determined to pose a very high risk to the United States". The proclamation partially restricts the entry of nationals from seven countries -- Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. "The restrictions and limitations imposed by the Proclamation are necessary to garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives," the White House stated. Exceptions to the ban include lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, certain visa categories, and individuals whose entry serves US national interests.

Robert Vadra skips ED summons in PMLA case linked to Sanjay Bhandari
The federal probe agency had questioned the 56-year-old businessman for three consecutive days in April in a separate money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in a 2008 land deal in Haryana. The sources said Vadra sought an adjournment of Tuesday's summons, and he will now be given a fresh date. The ED wants to record Vadra's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and then file a chargesheet against him before the court, sources said. New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) Robert Vadra, the businessman husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on Tuesday skipped an ED summons for questioning in a money laundering case linked to UK-based alleged arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari, official sources said. Bhandari (63) fled to London in 2016, soon after the Income Tax Department raided him in Delhi. A UK court earlier this month refused an application filed by the Indian government seeking permission to appeal in Britain's Supreme Court against the discharge of Bhandari in an extradition case, virtually ruling out chances of him being brought to the country to face the law. The ED filed a chargesheet in this case in 2023, alleging that Bhandari acquired the 12, Bryanston Square house in London in 2009 and got it renovated 'as per the directions of Robert Vadra, who provided the funds for the renovation'. Vadra has denied that he owns any London property directly or indirectly. Terming the charges a 'political witch hunt', Vadra said he was being 'hounded and harassed' to subserve political ends. The ED is also investigating Vadra in a separate money laundering case linked to alleged financial irregularities in a land deal in Rajasthan's Bikaner. The federal probe agency had previously questioned Vadra and his mother, Maureen, in this case. PTI NES ARI This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
