I asked him to pay for the ticket and the passenger replied that he is a constable. I again asked him to either pay for the ticket or alight from the train following which he engaged in a heated argument and threatened me with dire consequences once the train reached Pratapgarh. The passenger was travelling from Varanasi junction.""Meanwhile I received a distress emergency call from a 77-year-old woman passenger who was unwell. I left the ticketless passenger and went to attend the woman. I alerted Pratapgarh station to be on standby for a patient. I was with the woman passenger till the train reached Pratapgarh. As soon as the train halted, some men in uniform boarded A2 coach and came towards me along with the ticketless cop. After a brief talk which lasted less than 30 seconds, they started assaulting me. The train passengers were witnesses of the attack," he said.He alleged that the train which has five-minute halt at Pratapgarh did not receive green signal until the unruly police officer alighted from the train.After the incident, Sandeep made a distress call to railways control, following which policemen from GRP and RPF came to take his statement at the Amethi railway station."I'll identify the cops if they are paraded in front of me for identification," said Sandeep.Sanjeev Kumar Sinha, the circle officer of Lucknow division GRP, said, "By the time SHO, GRP, Pratapgarh, could reach A2 coach, the train had departed. Prima facie it has been found that TTE was indeed assaulted. I have instructed GRP Lucknow to lodge an FIR as soon as they receive a copy of the written complaint from Sandeep Singh.""If the involvement of GRP is found in the incident, then no cop would be spared," Sinha added.CPRO, NER, Pankaj Kumar said, "Considering such unruly behaviour of policemen who travel without ticket in trains and then misbehave with TTE, we have written to GRP to take appropriate against all cops whether civil police or railway police in case they don't follow railway rules while travelling in train."amita/khz/Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
