Ticket Collector robs me and calls it a bribe.

Reported on June 14, 2011 from Tiruchirappalli , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #8110

I was travelling from Trichy to Chennai by Rockfort express and I didn't have any idea original ID with me (I was a student back then) but I had foreseen such an issue and had a xeroxed copy of my passport and my college ID card, assuming that was enough. THE TC was very rude and scathing in his remarks and threatened to kick me out of the train. He then openly asked for my wallet and all the money in it in front of the entire carriage. Shame knows no bounds, when one of the passengers (who happened to be a ex-TC) laughed loudly and encouraged him to do so. I handed him everything I had and begged for a seat in a train that I had paid for. *******
