Netizens React To The Video 

Netizens had mixed reactions to the viral video. One user wrote, “Classic case of playing the victim after breaking the rules, no ticket, no accountability, just loud drama. False accusations like this don’t empower women; they destroy trust and shame genuine victims.” Another commented, “It’s abuse of the system.”

A user also pointed out how important it is to have female TTE staff handle such situations. According to a report by News18, the matter did not end there. A woman ticket checker and a female RPF staff member were called to the spot. The woman was then taken to the RPF office. She later accepted that she was travelling without a valid ticket and apologised for her behaviour. Officials collected a fine of ₹260 from her before closing the matter.
