eased himself during sleep or in an inebriated state. It was also not known if he
suffered from incontinence. The incident occurred on Akal Takht Express at a
Lucknow station.
NEW DELHI, March 14: A Railways Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) was arrested
and dismissed from service after he allegedly urinated on a woman passenger.
It was not known immediately if the off-duty TTE, sleeping on the upper berth,
eased himself during sleep or in an inebriated state. It was also not known
if he suffered from incontinence.
The accused has been identified as TTE Munna Kumar. He has been booked under
Sections 354-A, 352 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The incident happened on Akal Takht Express (number 12317), running from Kolkata
to Amritsar, near Charbagh railway station in Lucknow at around midnight on
Monday. The woman raised an alarm and co-passengers caught hold of him.
The woman's husband, Rajesh Kumar, a resident of Bihar, who was also travelling
alongwith her, complained to the Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel.
The victim is also said to be a railway employee. The TTE was taken into custody
at Charbagh railway station and produced before the court. He has been sent
to judicial custody.
The couple had boarded the train at Kiul Junction in Bihar. They were travelling
on seats numbers 31 and 32 in coach number A1, HT reported. “Late on Sunday
night, when my wife was sleeping, Munna Kumar, who was on seat number 41, came
and peed on my wife’s head,” Rajesh Kumar stated in the FIR.
Munna Kumar, hailing from Begusarai in Bihar, was posted at Saharanpur.
"Zero tolerance. Removal from service with immediate effect," Railway Minister
Ashwini Vaishnaw tweeted on Tuesday.
A notice signed by the divisional commercial manager said the TTE was dismissed.
It said, "Your above conduct showing disrespect to women construes a serious
misconduct, in the process bringing disrepute not only to your own self but
entire railways as an organisation. It is also seen that you are in judicial
custody. Taking cognisance of this grave matter, I consider it to be a fit case
to adopt the provision of Rule 14(ii). Thus, I hereby deem it fit to impose
the punishment of 'removal from service with immediate effect' for behaviour
unbecoming of a railway servant."
Several such instances of perverted behaviour had happened aboard planes in
the recent past.
WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the
authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at
Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to
familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are
caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible
situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts,
believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!
Rest assured, the aircraft can rock and fall but not more than a hundred
feet anyway.
During the event, nearly 50 other people, including bull tamers and spectators,

Whole localities are sent into quarantine in China using force if someone is
symptomatic of covid. The quarantines are metal boxes set up in far away
camps. The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a
new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three
cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario
where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and
assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.

Can we ask the vaccinator, "Do you pull back the plunger and
then push the vaccine? Do you Aspirate?" When the vaccination
for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of
adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being
non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of
human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How
did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion
how simply it can be prevented.
Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the

first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival.

While the rationalists debunk the episode as a ploy to make up for
the losses in offerings during the corona lockdown, the believers
stick to their claim, they have seen it after all! The claim of

different branches of science.
