A fake Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE or ticket checker) was outed by none other than an official TTE at Dadar on Friday whom she had brazenly tried to bluff. The Dadar Government Railway Police (GRP) on Friday arrested 23-year-old Pooja Rautu who was posing as TTE using a fake identity card. Rautu, who claims to have completed her civil engineering, is a resident of Satara and lives in Mumbai with her sister in Nagpada.

Rautu was caught without a ticket by Priyanka Gupta, a junior TT at Dadar railway station around 11.20 am on Friday after she had alighted from the Pragati Express. When she was asked for her ticket, Rautu told Gupta that she was a vigilance ticket checker and even showed her identity card to Gupta. When asked about her posting, Rautu said that she was posted at the CSMT railway station.
