A passenger has accused a Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) of pushing him from the compartment of an express train for refusing to pay money, police said here on Wednesday.

"Shiv Kumar Singh, who registered an FIR with the Jassidih police station in Deogarh, alleged that a TTE of the Patna-Chittaranjan Purva Express pushed him out of the door after he refused to pay money around 1 pm yesterday near Bandha-Kendua village of Deogarh district," sub-divisional police officer P K Shah told newsmen.

Singh, who suffered injuries on head and other parts of his body, remained unattended at the spot till 7 pm Tuesday when some villagers informed the Jassidih police station and the police admitted him to the sadar hospital. Shah said Singh alleged that a RPF official had come to the spot but did not take him to the hospital saying the area was not under his jurisdiction.

The SDPO said a special messenger was sent to handover Singh's statement to the Government Reserve Police (GRP) as the incident happened inside the train. Singh, who is working with the Kendua Colliery in Dhanbad district, had boarded the train in Patna and the TTE allegedly asked him money near Jha Jha. The passenger claimed that he had bought ticket and that he could recognise the TTE if he were paraded, the SDPO said.
