A woman took to X to share her younger sister’s horrifying experience while travelling in Indian Railways. X user '@avoid_potato' detailed how her sibling was travelling alone for the first time and her train got delayed by three hours. Not only that, but her seat was occupied by a family, who refused to move.
Further in her post, she shared that her sister started to feel sick and when she asked the family to move, a man shouted at her. The man also made her sit on the upper berth with three other passengers. (Also Read: Man finds cockroach in meal served on Vande Bharat Express, IRCTC apologises)

{{/usCountry}}An individual wrote, “The question is when will Indian Railways enforce the rule so that people with waitlisted tickets are not able to travel in trains. What is the point of buying a confirmed ticket when you will not get your seat."
A second shared, "There needs to be a mandatory ticket checking before one enters the railway station. This is happening throughout the country."
"Were they evicted out of the train? They shouldn't have been allowed on the train without proper tickets," posted a third.
A fourth added, "Sad to see this."
