I Shekhar Kumar undertook journey from Begusarai to Batihnda vide ticket PNR No ********12, ticket no ******** class 3 AC by 15609 Awdh Assam Express on 16/12/2011. I had waiting list 01 status ticket. on asking for a seat TTE Mr. V P Singh using unparliamentry words denied me a seat. Later he asked for Rs 300 bribe to give me a seat. Right in front of me he sold seat to a passenger from BGS to BTI who could offer him Rs. 350 as bribe for which the TTE didnot issue any receipt to him. On pleading he abused my profession i.e INDIAN AIR FORCE saying HARAM KA JOURNEY KARTE HO AUR SEAT BHI CHAHIYE. Lastly he did not give me any seat and sold many available seat in front of me. Despite paying full charge to railway i had to pay. Rs. 100 to get a berth in night to him at Muzzaffarpur for which he didnot give me any receipt. That to up to Delhi only. As train was running late I couldnot afford further journey in night without reservation and got down at delhi railway stn. I hold TTE V P Singh of Muzzaffarpur responsible for my condition. I would request concern authority to look into the matter and start stern action against the defaulter.
