Nagpur: In a decisive move under “Operation Uplabdh,” the Crime Intelligence Branch of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) Post Nagpur has cracked down on illegal railway ticketing at Kalmeshwar Railway Station.
A swift operation led by Assistant Sub-Inspector Rajkumar Bharti and Constable Harvinder Singh resulted in the arrest of a suspect involved in black-marketing confirmed Tatkal tickets. The suspect was caught at the reservation centre with a confirmed Tatkal ticket in possession.
During questioning, the individual admitted to booking confirmed Tatkal tickets for others and charging an extra ₹500 to ₹700 per passenger—above the official fare—violating railway regulations.
The recovered ticket was seized under a formal seizure memo. The accused, along with the seized evidence and a written complaint by Constable Harvinder Singh, was handed over to the RPF Police Station in Nagpur. Sub-Inspector V.P. Singh documented the suspect’s statement in front of two independent witnesses.
RPF Nagpur reaffirmed its commitment to eradicating ticket black-marketing and ensuring legitimate access to railway services for all passengers.
