Commuter booked for questioning TTEs over fine receipt

MUMBAI: A 38-year-old commuter, who questioned two travelling ticket examiners when he noticed them charging fines without issuing receipts in Mumbai was booked by the RPF on Wednesday.

The commuter, Vijay Ghorpade, alleged that the TTEs called him "Kejriwal" when he started arguing with them. RPF officials said Ghorpade had "obstructed public servants from doing their duty". A probe has been ordered.

Ghorpade, a Juinagar resident, runs a computer DTP operating firm in Kurla. Around 1pm, he was waiting to board a CST local when he noticed two teenaged girls being searched by two women TTEs. "The girls had a second-class ticket and were found travelling in the first-class coach. The TTEs were searching their bags and pockets and found some loose cash. I was surprised to notice that no receipt was issued to the girls who said they were on their way to an exam and were weeping," Ghorpade told TOI.

Ghorpade went up to the TTEs and asked why they weren't issuing receipts to the girls. He also asked the duo to return at least Rs 10 to the two girls so they could reach their destination safely. An argument broke out between the TTEs and Ghorpade.

"The TTEs asked me what authority I had and if I was 'Kejriwal' to be asking questions. They warned they would teach me a lesson and summoned patrolling RPF jawans. I was hauled to the Mankhurd RPF outpost where I was booked under section 146 of the Railway Act. Around 5pm, I was allowed to go home and have been asked to appear before a railway court on Friday," he added.

"The two TTEs told the teenaged girls that I should pay their fines since I was intervening on their behalf. When I refused to pay fines for them, the girls too were hauled to Mankhurd RPF outpost. They were allowed to leave after an hour," Ghorpade added.

M S Qureshi, assistant security commissioner, Panvel RPF, told TOI, "The TTEs were doing their job booking the two girls for travelling in the first-class coach without a proper ticket. Ghorpade interfered with their duty which is a punishable offence. He has submitted a written complaint to me, with his version, which has been forwarded to the senior divisional security commissioner's office."
