Bribe for Railway berts

Reported on January 7, 2011 from Jodhpur , Rajasthan  ι Report #28923

I made an effort to book 16 3AC berths on 7.3.10 from Jodhpur to Howrah in train No Jodhpur-Howrah Exp. I was told that quota is available for 8 berths only.. si i decided to book all the seats in general coach. However at Jaipur in the night at about 2 p.m. hundreds of persons entered in the reservation coach and made it very difficult to even sleep and forced us to allow them to sit on our berts. This made me very angry as we all were aged persons and were having with us valuables too. I decided to shift to 3AC as much seats as possible in the morning and I accordingly met the Conductor of 3 AC coach. He told me that he ********** allot me seats only if I agree to pay Rs.200.00 extra over the actual difference of tickets. Keeping in view the remaining journey of almost 24 hours , the fear of further crowds after Kanpur in the train and one night more journey with the old people and the valuables, was left with no option but to agree to his demand. I asked my friend to agree to the terms of the Coach-conductor. Thus we paid Rs.3000.00 extra to the coach for providing us 14 berths in the train before it reaches to Kanpur. And our problem was solved by paying Rs.3000.00 extra for the personal use of the *******
