Bribe to Get a Birth in a Train
- Railways
- Berth Allocation
- Paid INR 1,200
I was not able to reserve a seat and I had to go to Delhi from Kanpur due to some urgency. I even missed the busses and it was 2 A.M. in the morning. So I went to the station and bought a general ticket for an express train. At around 2:30 a train from Patna came on Platform-1 which was headed to Delhi. Only one T.T. came out, I asked him for a seat but he refused saying the train was already full. After 5 minutes he said will you go in AC First Class and I replied in affirmative and he said it would cost me Rs.1700. I did't want to pay such a high amount for going to Delhi from Kanpur and would only pay around Rs.1200. After thinking for some time he said that would be fine but for that amount you have to go in A.C. Second Class. The attendant took me to the berth, I lied down after some time the attendant again came and asked for money. I paid him the entire amount but he never got me the ticket.
