Ticket checke

I was traveling with my family in 12936 intercity express on 26th march from vapi to andheri. We had reservations in compartment number D4 and one of the members of my family couldn't make it to travel that day and one of my seat was vacant (not cancelled). Being a reserved compartment the people with unreserved ticket i.e. those who were suppose to travel in general compartment were also traveling in this compartment. As there was no place to keep my bag on the carrier or elsewhere i had to keep it on the seat which was vacant because i felt that i had paid for the ticket and i had to right on the seat from vapi to andheri. During this the ticket checker comes in the compartment starts checking my ticket, this person has no reaction seeing all the reserved compartment packed with people all over. One of the person standing illicitly hands him a 100 rupee note and asks for my vacant seat. The TC humiliatingly argues with me and my family and says that he has official right to do so which i do not believe is true. He shouldn't let those people travel in reserved compartment and even if he does let them travel i believe he has no right on my seat for which i have paid the money.

All in all my complaint is not against those 50-60 passengers traveling illegally but it is against that ticket checker who is responsible to see that no person is traveling with improper ticket, who did not justify his duty and sold himself for hundred rupees.By lodging this complaint i expect that strict action is taken against the TC.
