Eleven unauthorised people were arrested, who were operating as traveling ticket examiners (TTEs) from the New Delhi Railway Station premises, with many of them even carrying forged appointment letters and identity cards. Officials said that the gang operated at the station for 15 days before it was busted by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) on August 30.
“A railway official who was traveling on a Kanpur Shatabdi train happened to come across one such ‘TTE’, identified as Bhanu Chaurasia, illegally checking tickets. He tipped the commercial department, which in turn probed the case and unearthed the racket,” said the Northern Railways.
