Group attacks ticket checking staff, drag TTE into train

Fourteen individuals allegedly attacked two ticket-checking staff members and dragged a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) onto a train at Hazur Sahib Nanded railway station, as passengers boarded Train No. 17688 Marathwada Express from Dharmabad to Manmad. The assault occurred without reason, and TTE R.K. Singh was dragged into the train at around 5.32 a.m. on Monday, September 28, 2026, as the train had already departed.

Another TTE, Jitendra Kumar, tried to intervene but was unable to stop the attack as the train had already started moving. The Train Manager noticed the disturbance and promptly halted the train, prompting another TTE on the platform to alert railway staff. Following this, action was taken against the accused.

Four of the assailants reportedly managed to escape, while the remaining ten were apprehended and a case was registered against them. TTE R.K. Singh sustained injuries during the assault and was taken to a railway hospital for treatment.
