NEW DELHI: There are daily cases surfacing across the country about passengers travelling without tickets on trains. Railway has bolstered many measures to stymie this scornful act but has not achieved success in full. Normally it would be commoners or local ruffians who commit to this act. However, breaking all ounces of generosity, a cop was caught arguing with a TTE and fellow passengers after he was caught travelling for free on the elite Vande Bharat train.

Some passengers sitting in the same coach recorded the altercation between the cop and the TTE and shared it through social media platform X. Interestingly, the video went super viral evoking many discussions and condemnation for the shameful act. More than 200k people have already watched the video.

In the video, the cop is explaining his version saying that he boarded Vande Bharat only after missing the train that he was supposed to travel. The policeman later pleaded forgiveness with the TTE but the passengers nearby asked the TTE to deboard the cop at the next station.

Comments are pouring in for the video. “These people are exploiting power and think they have power over everyone if they wear a uniform”.

“If this happens to a normal citizen on the road, the same police would have unapologetically issued a traffic challan” This was another comment that went viral.
