Railway TC harrased lady passenge

Respected sir,

I, Madhu Lal, was travelling from Allahabad Jn. to Merath city on 6th October on Sangam Express (PNR No : 2111227298, Train No.4163, A1 0037 lower birth).

While on board, TC Mr. R.P.Sharma. came to check the ticket, and unfortunately I forgot to carry my photo ID card. I was travelling because a close relative had passed away and in the hurry to board the train, I missed to carry my photo ID card.

My age is 60 and accordingly it was written on the ticket. The TC mocked on me and harrased me for not being able to prove my identity and my age. I was the only lady passenger around then and he badly misbehaved with me.

I then told him if he thinks I have committed a crime, he could charge a penalty and issue me another ticket. This I said because did not want any more altercation and I wanted to peacefully travel to my destination. But instead he took a bribe of Rs. 1000 from me. Later from the aligard statioin when the next TC came he charged me further but issued me a fresh ticket (Rs 1000 Rs 250 ie, ticket charges and the fine).

This whole incident has diturbed me a lot.

This letter is to bring to your notice the kind of treatment railway staff have with the passengers. Kindly take appropriate action so that such incidents are not repeated again.

Thanks and regards,

Mrs. Madhu Lal

Roorkee.
