Seats sold by TTE even on having confirmed ticket and birth seat
I was travelling by 1077 (Pune-Jammu Tawi Jhelum Express) June-07. The PNR no. of my ticket is 832-1244751.
I was on my pilgrim trip to Shirdi from where I was returning back to Delhi.
I was traveling with my wife and 3 year old daughter.
The ticket was booked for me and my wife with confirmed births (15 and 16 in coach number S6)
As we all know and stated in Indian Railways website: "The booking under Tatkal scheme is done only from originating to terminating point of the train with boarding facility
from intermediate station, my ticket was booked from end-to-end journey under Tatkal booking.
When I boarded the train from Kopargaon I found that one of my birth (Seat No. 16 in Coach No. S6) were sold by TTE Mr. S.C. DHIWAR (PUNE) to another person.
On talking with the passenger occupying my seat, he told that he has paid a big sum to the TTE to get this seat and he denied having any receipt of the payment made and proving
his ticket confirmation. He openly denied to leave my confirmed birth and kept occupying my seat forcefully. All this act was rudely supported by the TTE.
On talking to the TTE (S.C. DHIWAR) he said that the birth is already sold and my ticket 832-1244751 is no longer vaild for any journey and he even threatened me and my family
to be thrown out of the train forcefully with the help of Railway Police. He even said that if you want a seat then you have to pay Rs 1500/-
This TTE (DHIWAR) left the train on Manmad and next TTE on duty came to the train. The new TTE never took any interest in the matter and said that he is not aware of any payment
that has been done to the previous TTE and he is not provided about any information of this seat. he didn't even took interest in removing that person from my seat.
This is very heinous act of corruption by the Railways official because of which me any me wife and 3 year old daughter has suffered throughout the 24 hour journey.
Request you to please probe in the matter and punish the guilty so that an example can be set for others. Also, you are requested to send me an update about the proceeding for
the matter.
