Viral Video Shows Ticketless Women Confront TTE in First AC, Alleged Casteist Slur

No official response from Indian Railways despite widespread calls for action after the Reddit clip circulated.

Overview

  • The encounter, filmed by both sides, shows a Travelling Ticket Examiner questioning two women found in a First AC coach without valid tickets.
  • The video first appeared on Reddit’s r/IndianRailways and quickly drew broad scrutiny and demands for punitive action.
  • One woman cited her brother being a loco pilot and claimed she entered to use the toilet before moving to a general compartment.
  • After insisting on the official’s name, the woman made casteist remarks, with another TTE at the scene attempting to defuse the situation.
  • Reports note the pair lacked even platform tickets, and separate coverage this week of a similar Bihar case detailed fines and an FIR against a different offender.
