Overview
- Klaudia Falenta, a Canadian solo traveller, posted a video saying a man at New Delhi Railway Station told her the ticket she held was not real and tried to send her to another office.
- She said the exchange lasted several minutes with her train due to depart shortly, and she believed the man was stalling so she would miss it and buy a ticket from him.
- A passerby who spoke Hindi then helped her navigate the station to reach the correct platform, and she boarded her train to Varanasi just in time.
- Falenta reported that the subsequent eight-hour journey was calm and that a friendly family shared tips for visiting Varanasi.
- Her clip, shared to show the unfiltered side of travel, drew supportive comments online and was reported by Hindustan Times and India Today, with no official verification or response noted in the coverage.
