The alleged nexus between railway employees and touts involved in the unauthorised sale of Tatkal tickets has come under renewed scrutiny. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw informed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that 65 railway employees and 13,580 touts were arrested across Indian Railways between 2023 and June 2026 for offences linked to the misuse of the ticket reservation system. The figures were shared in a written reply to a question raised by Independent MP Patel Umeshbhai Babubhai, who sought details of action taken against railway employees allegedly involved in the unauthorised sale of Tatkal tickets.
