Railway Protection Force Arrests Man Impersonating TTE Using AI-Generated Fake IDsPreviousNext

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) apprehended Aryadeep Saha at Rampurhat railway station, West Bengal, for impersonating a Traveling Ticket Examiner (TTE) using counterfeit identity documents. Saha boarded the Gour Express from Sealdah, posing as a railway employee, and carried fake Railway ID cards and forged authority letters created with advanced Gemini AI tools. Officials confirmed he was not employed by the railways and have handed him over to the Government Railway Police for legal action while investigating possible wider involvement.
