During his rounds as a ticket checker, 30-year-old Deepak Patil had managed to collect a tidy sum. Only, he was not a TC — Patil was employed with Railway Protection Force (RPF) as a sweeper. The impostor has been arrested by Government Railway Police (GRP) for allegedly extorting money from commuters. The accused, a resident of Kalwa in Thane, was posted in RPF headquarters, Mulund.

Ticket please: Patil introduced himself as a member of the special ticket-checking staff and asked Dabhale to show his ticket. Representation pic
