The Ministry of Railways has called upon all not to purchase railway tickets on the social networking sites.  

“Don’t be cheated by purchasing train tickets from social networking sites,” said the ministry in a precautionary message today (26 January). 

The ministry said nowadays an organised gang is selling fake train tickets by opening different accounts, groups and pages through advertisements on social networking sites.

“Many people are being cheated in this way,” it said.

The ministry called upon all to purchase the inter-city railway tickets through its app. 

The ministry said tough legal actions are being taken against black marketing of the tickets.
