With still no clarity on the QR codes for travelling in locals, railway police and ticket-checkers are now increasingly finding cases of fraud and impersonation. The latest incident involved a woman using a fake QR code to travel on a local. While the woman was detained with charges framed against her, the police are now on the lookout for how fake codes are being generated.

As per details available, a 21-year-old woman was caught at Borivli station during checking of QR codes. Ticket checkers found that the code did not sync with the database. The woman, a resident of Nalasopara, works with an electronics shop in Marine Lines. She was handed over to GRPF by the ticket checkers, who have registered a case against her.
