He demanded money from passengers by claiming compartment was reserved for the physically challenged
A man, who claimed to be a travelling ticket examiner (TTE) of the railways and collected money from passengers on a moving train, was arrested by the Tirupattur railway police in the early hours of Tuesday.
According to the railway police, the Salem divisional office received a call saying that a man, pretending to be a TTE, was checking the tickets of the passengers on Alappuzha-Dhanbad Express (13352).
The accused was asking passengers who did not carry original identity proof to pay fine.
The man reportedly boarded the train at Bomidi station and was checking tickets of passengers travelling in a compartment reserved for the people with disabilities. He went on demanding money from several passengers with valid tickets, by claiming that that the compartment was reserved for people with disabilities.
On receiving information, the Tirupattur railway police reached the compartment and the man was on ticket checking duty with all bill books and identity card.
Krishnan, special sub-inspector of the Tirupattur Railway Police Station, questioned the impostor, who was identified as Aljioni, 31, of Gengavalli near Salem.
Alijjoni was found in possession of a bogus TTE identity card. He was arrested under Section 170 (personating a public servant) and 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Indian Penal Code.
