Prashant Singh Yadav, sub-inspector of the RPF crime branch, led the operation, which was carried out in coordination with a joint task force, they added. According to RPF officials, the accused were working in collusion with staff from smaller railway reservation centres in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. A total of 80 tatkal tickets worth Rs.1.34 lakh had been booked under the names of 20 individuals. These tickets were procured from various reservation counters across AP and Karnataka, they said. The tickets were sent to Lucknow via cargo flights. Upon interception, the RPF team recovered one original ticket and photocopies of 19 others. All had been pre-booked by middlemen and issued from different locations in southern India, officials said. The accused have been identified as Mohd Kaif, son of Israr Ahmed, and Gaurav alias Prince, son of Ram Chandra -- both residents of Sanjay Nagar, officials said. Probe revealed involvement of more individuals, including a Mumbai-based travel agent, Manish Kamdar, and Mayur Ganesh.
