Mumbai: Western Railway does not have records of criminals and black marketing cases of tickets brokered by railways or found involved in these cases, this shocking revelation was made by Mumbai Western Railway in response to an RTI application filed by activist Anil Gilgali. Information provided to RTI activist Anil Gilgali by the Western Railway’s security department under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005 shows that a total of 2,885 cases related to the sale of illegal railway tickets have been registered between 2021 and 2026 (till now). However, it was claimed that information about the specific agents and employees arrested in these cases is not available.

According to the data received, the following cases were registered: 684 in 2021, 629 in 2022, 655 in 2023, 538 in 2024, 249 in 2025, and 130 so far in 2026. This shows that the Railway Protection Force is taking action against Western ticketing against the RPF.

Although the RTI application also sought year-wise and zone-wise details of touts, agents and railway employees arrested in such cases in the last five years, Western Railway in its reply said that “such statistics are not maintained at the zonal headquarters level.” Consequently, the data of arrested touts, agents and employees was not provided.

RTI activist Anil Gilgli remarked that the registration of thousands of cases against ticketing highlights the seriousness of the issue. He said that the failure of Western Railway to maintain records of arrested touts, agents and employees at the zonal headquarters level weakens monitoring and accountability. He urged the railway administration to maintain a central data on such cases and make it public regularly to ensure more effective prevention of ticket fraud.
