Agra, January 15: A railway staff “penalised” a 45-day-old puppy of Pakistani Bully breed after it was caught travelling without a ticket on an express train. The incident took place on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday when the Government Railway Police (GRP) control room informed Agra GRP that a passenger was travelling with a puppy in the pantry car of Dakshin Express from Delhi to Hyderabad.

Both the man and puppy were detained when the train reached Agra Cantt at 2:15 AM, the Times of India reported.

The puppy was bought in Haryana for Rs 33,000 and the handler was taking it to the owner, a real estate developer in Hyderabad. The handler said he had forgotten to buy a ticket for the puppy and was fined Rs 575, including Rs 27.30 as GST for the ticketless puppy by the TTE.

SO Ashwani Kaushik of Agra Cantt GRP said, “The handler of the dog had a general class ticket for himself but had not booked the puppy. He was found traveling in the pantry car.”
