'Bring Mallya, then impose fine'

Tiffs between commuters and ticket collectors at railway stations in Mumbai are nothing new. Now there is a Vijay Mallya angle to it. In the past two days, ticket collectors, especially those on duty at the crowded Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Churchgate station, have been confronted by irate commuters if they asked the latter to furnish their railway pass or ticket. The commuters dared the ticket collectors to bring back Mallya, who has fled the country leaving behind a trail of unpaid dues, before fining them for not buying a ticket or not carrying their passes.
