Quick Read
Central Railway has intensified its crackdown on fraudulent travel after three passengers were caught using fake UTS-generated season tickets on an AC local train. The incident took place on November 28, when Prashant Kamble, a Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI) from the Mumbai Division, detected irregularities during a routine ticket check on the 18.45 Parel–Kalyan AC local.
Kamble grew suspicious when a young woman and two young men produced tickets saved in the “My Files–Documents” folder on their mobile phones instead of opening them through the official UTS app. Upon examination, all three tickets displayed the same UTS number, XOOJHN4569, despite having different passenger details, a clear violation since each UTS ticket carries a unique identification number.
