A day after mid-day reported on how many arriving passengers at the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) were evading antigen tests and screening as there were not enough police officers to manage the crowd, an adequate number of cops were deployed on the station premises on Friday. Denying the allegations of non-cooperation, the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) claimed that they were supporting the BMC teams fully in screening the passengers. 

The railway cops further said that they had never received a complaint regarding the same. mid-day in its May 28 report highlighted that thousands of passengers were managing to leave through various exists of the station without undergoing tests or screening. The BMC L ward had claimed that the railway cops were not cooperating and so they were not being able to manage the crowd at the station. However, both the RPF and GRP denied the allegations and said that they were extending full cooperation with an adequate number of police personnel based on the number of passengers arriving at the station.
