He was sent to Dasna jail under judicial custody.
In her complaint, the woman stated that she left her parental house in Bareilly in a fit of anger, so did not carry any money with her. She boarded the general compartment where the TC, who identified himself as Ravi Meena, asked for the ticket.
"When I did not produce the ticket and told him that I did not have the ticket, he took me to an AC Second Class compartment and raped me twice. He threatened to book me under a case of travelling without ticket andtold me that he would send me to jail if I tell about the rape. So I kept mum. After reaching home, I told the entire story to my husband who took me to the police station to lodge the complaint."
"The TC has been arrested," added GRP Inspector Lawania.
