Thiruvananthapuram: A woman TTE was assaulted by a train passenger for asking why he entered the women's compartment. The incident took place in the Chennai Mail, which was departing for Chennai from Thiruvananthapuram.

When the train reached Kollam station, TTE Rajini Indira asked the train passenger to change his compartment. He, instead, tried to misbehave and reached out to beat her.

In the complaint filed by the TTE, it has been alleged that he even tried to click pictures of her during the argument. 

Though two policemen boarded during the train halt and inquired about the information, they did not take the ruckus-causer into custody. When the train reached Kayamkulam station, a few RPF officials entered and took him into custody.
