Ticket inspector suspended for ‘misbehaving’ with woman at Bengaluru railway station

The South Western Railway (SWR) said it had suspended a ticket inspector for misbehaving with a woman passenger when she was getting off a train at the KR Puram station on Tuesday.

Santosh, a deputy chief ticket inspector at the KR Puram railway station, allegedly pulled the woman as she got off the Howrah-SMVT Bengaluru Humsafar Express (Train No 22863). He was allegedly drunk at the time.

The Humsafar Express had halted at KR Puram to cross with another train before chugging to its final destination.
