Rape of Student in Train's AC Coach Under the Pretext of Providing a Ticket, Case Filed Against TTE
A student has accused a Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) of rape in an AC coach of the Gorakhpur Express while she was returning from an exam.
A serious allegation has been leveled against a Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) by a girl who is an NCC cadet. The incident occurred on the Gorakhpur Express when the girl was returning from an exam in Mau and could not procure a ticket due to the overcrowded train. While she was standing in the AC coach, the TTE lured her into the AC-1 cabin under the guise of providing her with a seat, where he then assaulted her. The horrific nature of this crime has raised concerns about safety on trains, especially for women traveling alone.
Following the report of this incident, the police have taken swift action by registering a case against the accused and forming a special team to search for him. This case not only highlights the vulnerabilities faced by female travelers but also emphasizes the need for strict enforcement of safety measures on public transport. Many are now calling for increased vigilance and protective measures for women on trains to prevent such incidents in the future.
This incident has sparked outrage and discussions around the safety of women in transit. It underscores the ongoing societal issue of violence against women in India, particularly in public spaces. As the investigation continues, there is a heightened demand for accountability and justice for the victim, as well as systemic reforms to safeguard women traveling in trains across the country.
