Pakistan Railways Suspends Ticket Examiner After Alleged Assault on Woman Passenger.

Pakistan Railways has taken strict disciplinary action by suspending a special ticket examiner, identified as Irshad, involved in a physical altercation with a woman passenger on the Pakistan Express. The unfortunate incident, which took place during the journey from Faisalabad to Rawalpindi, reportedly started over a seemingly trivial dispute regarding luggage placed in the aisle that was blocking the way.

The situation escalated significantly when other passengers began recording the argument on their mobile phones, which allegedly angered the official further. The confrontation turned violent, leading to an alleged assault that forced the train to make an unscheduled stop. Pakistan Railways has launched a formal investigation, interrogating the suspended examiner, the on-duty train guard, and the accompanying railway police officer to ensure public accountability and passenger safety.
