Within hours of mid-day publishing a report on how two Ticket Checkers (TCs) physically assaulted a commuter at the Andheri railway station for not being fully vaccinated, the Western Railway authorities swung into action and transferred the duo to the control room as punishment posting. The authorities also recorded the statement of victim Pratik Sen and started investigation into the matter.

The authorities said that they would take action against both the TCs for allegedly harassing people at railway stations and extorting money from them. Sen told mid-day that since the incident he changed his way out of the station, as he was scared the TCs would harass him again.
