Mumbai Viral Video: A viral incident from Kalyan Railway Station has sparked widespread outrage on social media after a man was reportedly fined ₹500 despite purchasing a valid platform ticket.
What Happened?
According to the viral post, a man arrived at Kalyan Railway Station to see off his relatives and purchased a platform ticket as required by railway rules. However, the train was reportedly delayed by nearly five hours. Since platform tickets are valid only for a limited duration, the ticket expired while the man continued waiting for the delayed train. When railway authorities checked the ticket, they allegedly found that it had expired and imposed a fine of ₹500.
The sequence of events shared online was:
- Man comes to drop off his relatives.
- Purchases a valid platform ticket.
- Train arrives approximately five hours late.
- The platform ticket expires after two hours.
