The sub-inspector expressed displeasure over the behavior of the TTE, who allegedly thrashed him along with his friends, the SP said, adding that by the time the train reached Bakhtiyarpur, the GRP personnel had come to know about the incident.

A video of TTE, after the incident, crying and alleging that the GRP was refusing to register an FIR based on her complaint, has been uploaded on social media and is being circulated by various news outlets.
