Viral Video On Train: Flights can never give you the experience of an Indian Railways train. While for some the journey could be arduous, for others it creates unforgettable memories. Over the last one or two years, several videos shot on trains have been going viral. Whether the videos show people fighting over communal reasons or complaining about the quality of service and food — the internet has everything. The latest incident to be added list of viral videos is that of a 'ticketless' woman passenger who was complaining about the quality of service on a train.
The video shows a woman being asked to show her ticket, presumably by a train ticket examiner (TTE). The video was recorded by the TTE. However, the woman refused to produce her ticket and complaints about the poor state of cleanliness in the washroom. When the TTE insists that she was travelling without a ticket, the woman, who claimed to be a lawyer, accuses him of "harassing passengers".
As the commotion increased, other passengers join in the argument and ask her to not disturb everyone in the coach. "He's only doing his duty. You are the one who's creating a ruckus," says one of the passengers. "Do not take undue advantage of being a woman," says another.
When the woman is cornered, she says: "I have travelled several times on train and have seen many TTEs like you." She could also be hurling abuses at the TTE. She then claims that the TTE tore up her ticket and says she doesn't remember her seat number either.
She also questions the TTE on why he was recording the entire incident, to which he replies: "I want to keep evidence so that you don't blame me falsely later." The visibly irate woman then says: "Kitna video banaoge. Jao na aage kaam karo na. Raat bhar video hi banoge kya? [How much more will you record? Go do your job. Will you keep recording the entire night?]"
The argument continues till they reach a station. As the TTE calls in security personnel at the station, the woman can be seen assaulting him. The video ends with the woman being escorted away by a cop.
A similar incident of ticketless travelling went viral in June when a sleeper coach on a train was seen crowded with allegedly ticketless passengers. A woman passenger, who recorded the incident, alleged that the Railways did not help them as the ticketless travellers grabbed the seats of passengers with valid tickets. Check out the video below.
