Watch the video: TTE Suspended for Abusing and Assaulting Passenger
A Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) faced suspension on Thursday for physically assaulting a passenger aboard the Barauni-Lucknow Express.
The incident unfolded between Gonda and Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh, with the Railway Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, announcing the TTE’s suspension on X (formerly Twitter) and expressing “zero tolerance for such misconduct.” Identified as Deputy Chief Ticket Inspector (DCTI) Prakash, the TTE allegedly abused and slapped the passenger, ostensibly over an irregular ticket.
The railway authorities have initiated an inquiry, emphasizing that the TTE’s actions were unauthorized. While the video of the incident went viral, public outrage on social media called for more than just suspension, urging termination and legal consequences for the TTE.
ये कौन TT है जो बरौनी-लखनऊ एक्सप्रेस में गरीब निर्दोष यात्रियों को पीट रहा है?
ये सरेआम गुंडागर्दी है।@AshwiniVaishnaw क्या इसके विरुद्ध कड़ी कार्यवाही करेंगे? pic.twitter.com/Xt4xZul6YX
