Agartala: The Government Railway Police (GRP) has arrested three women for allegedly assaulting a railway travelling ticket examiner (TTE) at Manu railway station in Dhalai district of Tripura.
The three, aged between 21 and 35, are residents of Tripura.
The incident took place about a month ago, when the trio, along with others, was allegedly transporting bananas illegally on a passenger train from Manu railway station to Agartala.
When the TTE, Atul Kaushik, questioned them about the shipment, the accused claimed that they regularly use passenger trains for such purposes.

During investigation, video footage of the incident was analysed, which helped identify and arrest the trio.
