Bihar teacher’s ticketless train drama turns into viral showdown with TTE

What began as a routine ticket check soon spiraled into a fiery war of words between a Bihar government teacher and a train ticket examiner (TTE) after she was caught travelling without a ticket in an AC coach.

The confrontation, caught on video and now viral on social media, shows the teacher accusing the TTE of deliberate harassment.

In the clip, the teacher can be heard saying, “Aap mujhe pareshan kar rahe hain. Aap mujhe pareshan karne ke uddesh se aisa kar rahe hain” (You’re bothering me intentionally)."

The TTE retorts, “It’s not about troubling. You don’t have tickets. You’ve travelled without a ticket before too. You’re a government teacher in Bihar.”

As the argument escalates, both begin recording each other. The teacher demands, “Stop recording me,” to which the TTE calmly replies, “Please don’t touch me.”

The teacher insists she is being harassed, while the TTE reiterates his duty: “You don’t have a ticket. I’m just asking you to move to the sleeper coach.”

The teacher then calls the TTE “useless,” prompting a sharp comeback: “It’s not me who’s useless, it’s you. You’re a Bihar government teacher and you travel without tickets!”

The video has sparked widespread debate online, with many netizens criticising the teacher for “playing the victim card.”

One user wrote, “Instead of accepting her mistake, she’s arguing like she’s above the law!” Another commented, “The TTE handled it with grace. Hats off!”
