Videos of the woman confronting the TTE on the railway station platform, reportedly on Tuesday, have been posted on twitter by a user.In the videos, a woman can be seen shouting at the TTE, asking him why he pulled her after she showed him her tickets. As the TTE, who was allegedly drunk, shouts back at the woman, a group of men who were standing nearby and were watching the incident unfold, came to her aid and caught hold of him as he tried to flee from the spot. They can be heard saying, "He is drunk, call the police".
