A girl on a platform of a railway station in Uttar Pradesh was treated disrespectfully by a group of TTEs. The officials got involved in a dramatic fight with the commuter by pulling her collar, slapping her, and dragging her purportedly to the station master's office. As the argument broke out between the girl and the female ticket examiners, others on the premises dramatically gathered to witness the incident. People on the opposite platform recorded a video and shared it online. WATCH:
The visuals showed the authorities misbehaving with the female passenger. While the exact reason behind the issue is unknown, the video allegedly showed the girl trying to keep her side in front of the TTEs but was slapped and dragged unheard. The TTEs, dressed in black coats and wearing identity cards, initially pulled her by holding her jacket's collar and then slapped her, followed by taking her along with them.
The incident showing the angry TTEs has gone viral on social media and resulted in mixed reactions. While most condemned the act of the officials beating the passenger by saying, "The customer is given the status of God... Who gave TTE the right to harass them?"

People requested the Rail Ministry to take note of the incident and initiate necessary action.
