Army jawan loses leg as railway ticket checker pushes him under train in fit of rage

An army jawan lost his leg and has been hospitalised in a critical condition after a railway ticket checker (TTE) allegedly pushed him under a moving train following an argument in UP’s Bareilly cantonment on Thursday, officials said.

The soldier, Sonu,  was allegedly pushed off the Dibrugarh-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Bareilly Junction railway station in the morning, they said.

Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) Supan Bore has been booked for attempt to murder and is absconding after the horrifying incident.

“We are looking at the CCTV footage,” Senior Manager of Moradabad Division Sudhir Singh said.

According to railway officials, an argument broke out between Bore and Sonu over the latter’s ticket.

In a fit of rage,  Bore allegedly pushed the army man out and he fell under the train. “He was rushed to a military hospital. He has lost his leg and his condition remains critical,” an official said.

Station House Officer of Government Railway Police Ajit Pratap Singh said, “TTE Bore has been booked under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code (attempt to murder). He is absconding and a manhunt has been launched to nab him.”
