Bihar Teacher Caught Without Train Ticket Accuses TTE of Harassment in Viral Video

The TTE in the video states that the woman works as a teacher for the Bihar government.

A viral video documents a confrontation between a Bihar government teacher and a train ticket examiner. After being discovered traveling without a ticket in an AC coach, the woman claimed the TTE was harassing her, drawing significant attention on social media platforms.

In the recorded footage, the woman states, "Aap mujhe pareshan kar rahe hai. Aap mujhe pareshan karne ke udeyesh se aisa kar rahe hai." (You're bothering me. You're doing this with the intention of bothering me.)

The TTE responds, "It's not about troubling. You don't have the tickets. Aap iske pehle bhi bina ticket ke travel ki hai. (You have travelled without a ticket before also.) You are a Master (teacher) in the Bihar government."

The woman insists, "You are lying. I am not telling any lies." The TTE replies, "I remember very clearly. You are a teacher in the Bihar government and you travel without tickets. And if you have any tickets, then show us."

Victim Gender

Throughout the interaction, the TTE records the incident on her phone, while the woman also appears engaged with her own device. At one point, the woman demands, "Please show me your phone. Don't record like this." The TTE calmly responds, "Please don't touch me."

The disagreement intensifies as the woman declares, "I am going. You are harassing a woman." The TTE counters, "I am troubling you? You don't have the ticket. I am asking you to go in sleeper (sleeper coach) and you are not going. And you are saying that I am troubling you."

She continues, "And what will you do if I don't leave? You have been troubling me for such a long time. I know you are recording me." The TTE firmly states, "Of course I am. You are not taking a ticket and then you are saying that you are getting troubled."

As the woman finally gathered her belongings to depart, she told the TTE, "You are a useless person." The TTE responded, "It's not me who is useless, it's you. If I am calling you a useless person, you feel bad, but when you said that, it's fine? You are a Bihar government teacher and travel without tickets."

The video has generated extensive discussion online, with many social media users criticizing the woman for allegedly playing the "victim card." Some commenters noted that it was inappropriate for a government teacher to travel without a ticket, particularly while confronting a ticket examiner who was performing their duties.
