Couple fleeced by fake TTEs
By Sandeep Joshi
NEW DELHI, OCT. 11. Incidents of fake train ticket examiners (TTEs) cheating passengers by fleeing with their travel tickets just before the start of their journey are becoming commonplace at almost all the railways stations of the Capital. In yet another incident, a couple of fake TTEs gave two families a horrifying time this afternoon when they decamped with their AC III tickets when they were about to board the train at New Delhi railway station. Though the alert railway employees at the reservation counter prevented the fake TTEs from getting the tickets refunded, the victims had to pay a penalty for travelling without valid tickets. Full Story.
