Recently, a video of a woman making a big scene during a ticket inspection went viral, causing disruption on Mumbai’s busy suburban railway network. The woman is seen screaming, sobbing, and arguing with ticket checkers and Railway Protection Force (RPF) officers in the video, which was allegedly taken at the foot-over bridge at Thane railway station.
A woman is seen making a scene on a busy bridge in a viral video.
The woman, who is wearing traditional office wear, is seen in the video yelling as a man grabs her handbag, apparently to prevent her from running away when she was asked to provide a legitimate train ticket. The video also shows an RPF officer trying to defuse the situation and press her to cooperate. But the woman seems more and more upset.
“I was not running, can you not look at my condition?” she screams when accused of trying to escape. When asked to show her ticket or pay the fine, she yells, “Give me your QR code. I have to rush.” Throughout the video, railway staff are seen maintaining calm and trying to reason with her, despite the ruckus on the crowded bridge. The Free Press Journal could not independently verify the authenticity of the video or confirm whether any official action was taken against the woman.
After being caught without a first-class ticket, the passenger attacks TC.
Days have passed since another disagreement during ticket checking descended into violence before this episode. After being trapped on a First Class coach of a Virar fast local on August 2 with only a Second Class ticket, a passenger caused damage to railway property. Between Andheri and Borivali, Deputy Chief Ticket Inspector Shamsher Ibrahim was conducting the check.
