Police Officer Travels Without Ticket On Train
A police officer boards an AC coach without a ticket and occupies a seat that’s legally allotted to a passenger.

Recently, an X user, The Nalanda Index (@Nalanda_index), described an incident that happened in an Indian train. A passenger recently had a shocking encounter on a train when a police officer took a seat in an AC coach without a ticket. When asked to move, the officer refused, telling the passenger to “sit somewhere else.” The TTE was called, but the officer boldly claimed, “We don’t take tickets. We’re in government service. We travel for free,” ignoring all rules and warnings.
Even when the TTE warned that the RPF could be called, the officer refused to move, repeating, “I have a government job.” The user also added, “This isn’t authority. This is an abuse of power. When those meant to enforce the law start breaking it in public, law and order turn into a joke. Uniforms are for responsibility, not for intimidation. If this goes unchecked today, tomorrow, no honest passenger will feel safe or respected.”

One user wrote, “These kinds of filthy crooks should be terminated and jailed for life.”
Another added, “Bhai, ye sab unchecked hi ho raha hai pichle 75 saalon se aur agle 75 saal tak hota rahega. Because Police and Courts are the most corrupt system.”
One netizen commented, “Nothing will happen. Who will take action—the police?”
