If you are reading such news for the first time, then don't be surprised. RPF has made such arrests in the past as well. This is not the first instance when a fake TTE was arrested. 


Earlier this year in October, the Sihor and Shujalpur RPF arrested a fake TTE at the Kalapipal railway station for extorting money from people inside the train. The accused was also found in possession of fake identity cards. In September, the Sonpur Squad Team of the RPF had arrested a fake TTE travelling in the general compartment of the Pawan Express. 



In March this year, Begusarai RPF had arrested a fake TTE while recovering fake ID cards from his possession. The youth was found with a ticket fine receipt as well. Upon being caught, he claimed that he had not committed any wrongdoing before and that it was his first day. During the search, a fake CBI ID card was recovered from him. The young man has been identified as Vikram Kumar, son of Chandra Dev Paswan, a resident of Manjeth in Thana Chhabilapur, Nalanda district.
