RPF constable opens fire

Staff Reporter

TIRUCHI: A Railway Protection Force constable fired in the air from his pistol at the Tiruchi Railway Junction early on Monday to scare away supporters of a Travelling Ticket Examiner he had held for questioning.

The constable was allegedly manhandled by the TTE while travelling in the Pearl City Express. Nearly 50 railway staff belonging to a trade union whisked away the TTE from RPF’s custody.
