Reacting to the video, senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai commented, “A few days ago, Indigo passenger slapping a pilot. Now, video surfaces of TTE on Barauni Lucknow express slapping passenger. Does TTE have right to slap passenger (if ticketless travel, throw the law book.. not assault the passenger) . Impunity of power over aam aadmi? @RailMinIndia”.
