Illegal fine collection

I was travelling by bus no. 707 from bangur nagar to nanavati hospital. Yesterday being the train motorman strike the buses were crowded like anything.

I got a seat to sit in the bus at juhu circle at the last row. The bus was still packed i hadn't bought the ticket neither did the ticket collector (master) come at the back to give tickets, so i could'nt get one.

Ticket checker got in the bus at cooper hospital stop, I got up at mithibai college to buy ticket from the master who was still in the miday of the bus passage, the ticket collector asked me for the ticket i said i am going to take it, and he it was my fault that i boarded the bus at bangur nagar n didn't buy ticket till mithibai college, n that i have to pay fine now.

The very fact that i was still in the bus n did not leave the bus without ticket, still the ticket collector did not let me buy the ticket and charged a fine of 110 rs.

I travel by bus daily and today being the crowd in bus i could not take the ticket as i entered the bus.

the ID number of the ticket collector is 187133. The ticket collector does not have any right to fine people in the bus while they do not have tickets.

I request you to have a look in the matter.
