To nab bogus TC, real ones go ticketless on Exp train
Kalyan: Kalyan Govt Railway Police caught a bogus ticket checker, Ramprakash Mandal (40), on Kushinagar Express train. The arrested bogus TC, taking advantage of rush in the general compartment due to summer vacation when TCs hardly check tickets on trains, had looted many posing as TC and issuing bogus fine receipts.
Kalyan GRP sources said that recently, senior divisional commercial manager (Works) Arun Kumar received a complaint of bogus fine receipts given to passengers on the Kushinagar Express. He formed a team of TCs led by Haresh Dahilkar who, with his team, posed as passengers without tickets, and boarded the Kushinagar Express on Wednesday. They caught a suspect in a TC's unfiorm and badge, asking people to show their tickets in the general compartment.
Kalyan GRP said that when the genuine TCs team asked the accused, saying they were four without tickets and wanted tickets from LTT to Gorakhpur, the bogus TC asked them pay a fine of Rs 2,640. When the team checked the receipt, they found it fake. The team, with help of RPF personnel, caught him and handed him over to Kalyan GRP, who arrested the fake TC. —Pradeep Gupta
