UP: Mother-daughter duo found in train's 1st-class cabin without tickets
A mother and daughter were recently found in a first-class AC train coach without tickets.
When the Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) asked, the mother said they just needed to use the bathroom, while her daughter mentioned their brother works as a loco pilot.
Things got tense when the mother brought caste into the discussion after asking the TTE's name, which quickly drew criticism online.
Video of encounter goes viral on X
The video of this encounter went viral on X (formerly Twitter), fueling conversations about people misusing connections in Indian Railways—especially in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Many called out the sense of entitlement and inappropriate caste remarks, with some even suggesting stricter action against both passengers and railway staff who let these things slide.
The incident has once again highlighted ongoing issues with ticketless travel and calls for better enforcement.
