<p>The imposter’s bluff was called when the commuter asked him to show his identity card; was handed over to Government Railway Police at Pune station</p>
A Fake travelling ticket examiner (TTE), who was caught red-handed by a passenger onboard Mumbai Express, was handed over the officials of the Government Railway Police (GRP) on Saturday.
Shivkumar Molkire was travelling in a general compartment to Pune from Chennai, when he noticed a ‘TTE’ entering the bogie at Daund station.
Suspicious of his appearance, because the TTE had only worn a black coat without the railway badge, Molkire asked him for his identity card and this blew his cover. The imposter was later handed over to the GRP officials at Pune station.
