Sir the police statements are not treated valid if the matter goes in the trial before the Railway magistrate the statements of all the witness shall be recorded in court and at that time they can deny that police forcefully took there statements.

The police in investigation can seize the PC mobile even if the FIR is not received. If there is no evidence against your brother in that case he shall be acquitted.

if police wrongly does investigation then a petition before the high court can be filed.

Any reserved ticket including railway ticket is exclusively meant for travel of the person (who may represent a group)who is termed as primary passenger(whose ID is printed in ticket or in their official computer list) . atleast he/she should show government ID when asked for. or face court . its a criminal offence to sell reserved ticket.

Hello,

To sell a railway ticket is an offence.

Without lodging an FIR and taking permission from the court the police can not investigate the laptop etc.

The police will have to show prove that the brother used to take extra money against the ticket.

In case no evidence are found, your brother will be acquitted accordingly.

Regards

Dear client,

1. See nothing to worry here police statements are not treated valid, see while conducting the trial before certain authority, the court looks into certain witnesses and it shall be corroborated with material facts as per section 158 of Indian evidence Act.

2. If police officer doing his investigation in properly or misusing his job with all the proof you can stay the proceedings.

3. Selling an Railway ticket is an offence, see in case no evidence found then the case will come to an end.

This is a routine arrest and action taken by police.

Dont give importance to the proper legal procedures that are required to be followed, the police themselves will not strain to undertake the strenuous action on this as per procedures.

Let him pay the fine and come out of the crisis instead of arguing over the wrong things done by him.

Strictly speaking if the police refuses bail then he may have been arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
