Railway police have initiated legal proceedings against a man accused of assaulting a Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) aboard the Jan Shatabdi Express this morning. The incident transpired on Thursday, March 4, as the train was en route from Thiruvananthapuram to Kannur, shortly after departing from Thiruvananthapuram Central station.
