The Indian Railways suspended a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) after a viral video surfaced, allegedly showing him offering a Vande Bharat Express ticket at an unofficial rate. In the video, the TTE is seen negotiating with a passenger, initially asking for Rs 380 to arrange a seat, which he later increased to Rs 750 when the passenger requested a receipt. The passenger, who was running late and had a superfast train ticket, attempted to negotiate but was directed back to the TTE by the train attendant. The incident has raised concerns about corruption within the Indian Railways, particularly regarding premium services like the Vande Bharat Express. Following the video's circulation, social media users expressed their outrage and skepticism about the integrity of ticketing practices, with comments likening the TTE's actions to those of corrupt officials in other sectors.
