Lucknow, March 14

A drunk Travel Ticket Examiner (TTE) allegedly urinated on a woman in Akal Takht Express on Sunday, a Government Railway Police (GRP) official said.

The woman was travelling with her husband Rajesh Kumar, both hailing from Amritsar.

The incident happened on Sunday midnight in the A1 coach of Akal Takht Express which was going from Amritsar to Kolkata, the GRP official said.

The passengers gathered around hearing the noise from the woman and got hold of the drunk TTE, who was identified as Munna Kumar, a resident of Bihar.

The TTE was then handed over to the GRP when the train reached Charbagh Railway station, Lucknow, on Monday.

Meanwhile, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Tuesday that the TTE has been sacked from his position with immediate effect. 

"Your above conduct showing disrespect to women construes serious misconduct, in the process bringing disrepute not only to your own self but entire railways as an organization. It is also seen that you are in judicial custody. Taking cognizance of this grave matter, I consider it to be a fit case to adopt the provision of Rule 14(ii). Thus, I hereby deem it fit to impose the punishment of "REMOVAL FROM SERVICE WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT" for behaviour unbecoming of a railway servant," the order by the Northern Railway shared by the Minister on Twitter said.
