Bizarre incidents aboard Indian Railways trains often leave passengers in absolute shock. In a recent viral episode from the Danapur-Secunderabad Express, a woman traveling without a ticket got into a fierce altercation with ticket-checking staff and went to the extent of tearing her own clothes to falsely implicate the TTE. However, she was unaware that a co-passenger sitting across from her was diligently recording the entire sequence on a mobile phone.
Changing Coaches and Starting High-Voltage Drama
The incident dates back to September 17. The woman, traveling with a young child on the Danapur-Secunderabad Express, was unable to produce a valid ticket when checked in the second-AC coach after departure. She was simply asked to get a ticket issued.
Instead of complying, the woman walked over to the third-AC coach. When checking staff confronted her there, she refused to pay or regularize her journey. The viral video shows her arguing with the TTE, claiming she was willing to pay money, while the staff insisted on a valid ticket. Realizing she was cornered, she threatened to call her brother—claiming he is also a TTE—and identified herself as Radhika Tiwari.

Sudden Outburst and RPF Intervention at DDU Junction
As the argument escalated, the woman began searching for railway helplines on her phone and told bystanders she would frame the TTE. In a shocking twist, she suddenly started tearing her own clothes and hurled verbal abuses at the staff.
When the train arrived at Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (DDU) Junction around 4 PM, an RPF women's team was ready at the platform based on alerts from the railway control room. The woman was deboarded for questioning. Fortunately, the co-passenger who filmed the incident showed the footage to railway authorities, exposing the fabricated claims. Railway PRO Vishwanath confirmed that the woman was penalized for ticketless travel before being allowed to proceed.
