Upon detailed questioning and verification, the accused failed to produce any valid railway identity card or official authorization. He was consequently identified as an unauthorized person impersonating a railway ticket examiner.<\/p>\n

The accused was detained and handed over to the Railway Protection Force (RPF) post at Ballygunge for necessary legal proceedings. Subsequently, the IC\/GRPS\/Ballygunge registered Case No. 28\/26 dated August 20, 2026, under Sections 204, 205, 234, 235, 319(2), 336(2), 337, 338, 336(3), 336(4), 340(2), 339 and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, against Subhajit Banerjee, aged 32.<\/p>\n
