A ticket clerk was allegedly beaten up by three persons at a railway station in Maharashtra's Palghar district after he fined them for travelling without tickets, the government railway police (GRP) said on Tuesday, reported the PTI.
The assault took place at Boisar railway station on Monday, an official said.
He said the victim, a commercial cum ticket clerk (CCTC), was on duty on the railway bridge and asked the accused persons to show their tickets.
As the trio did not have tickets, the victim asked them to pay Rs 280 each as a fine. Angered by this, they allegedly beat him up, the official said.
