Kerala: Ticketless vendor jumps from train to avoid fine
A ticketless vendor named Ashkar jumped off a moving train in Kerala's Malappuram district on Tuesday after a ticket examiner confronted him and allegedly threatened legal action.
Ashkar had been selling cool drinks on the Alappuzha-Kannur Executive Express but couldn't show a valid ticket when asked.
