GRP in-charge at the Chandausi railway station K.N. Singh said the woman submitted a complaint on January 21 alleging that TTE Raju Singh, who she was acquainted with, and another person gang-raped her on the train after offering her a seat in the AC first class coach. “The woman was waiting at the Chandausi railway station on January 16 when the accused TTE gave her a sit in the AC coach. She was going from Chandausi to Prayagraj’s Subedarganj. The accused was known to the woman. At around 10 p.m. between Chandausi and Aligarh, the TTE came with another person, whom she does not recognize, and allegedly raped her,” said Mr. Singh.
