A video has been making its way around social media, capturing a heated interaction between a Travelling Ticket Examiner and a police officer. The video has gained a lot of attention, with thousands of likes and views from users on 'X' platform. In the footage, the TTE can be seen confronting the cop and demanding that he vacate the seat he was occupying in an AC coach.
"You don't even have a general coach ticket," the TTE can be heard saying, "yet you have the audacity to travel in the AC coach. That's just appalling." He then adds, "Do you guys think that any vacant seat automatically belongs to the police? Is that right?" The cop, busy tying his shoelaces, remains silent.
The TTE continues, "Don't you dare take a seat from the reserved coach. There are plenty of seats available in the unreserved coach." Following the TTE's instructions, the cop eventually gets up from his seat, as seen in the viral video. The footage was shared on 'X' by a popular handle called 'Ghar Ke Kalesh' with the caption "Kalesh b/w a TTE and Police."
The video has sparked a debate among netizens, with some users on 'X' criticizing the TTE for his aggressive behavior towards the cop. They believe that he could have handled the situation with more politeness. On the other hand, many users have praised the railway officer for his conduct in the video.
This incident has once again brought to light the ongoing debate about seat reservations in Indian trains and the perceived sense of entitlement among police officers. While the TTE may have been justified in asking the cop to vacate the seat, the manner in which he did so has been met with mixed reactions. It remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved and whether it will bring about any changes in the way reserved seats are handled in the future.
