Recently, a video of two members of a ticket black-marketing syndicate involving tickets of the Dhaka–Chattogram-bound Subarna Express went viral on social media after being published by an online portal.
A preliminary investigation confirmed the authenticity of the video, and the involvement of two employees—stewards Minhajul and Imran—of the onboard service provider was proven beyond doubt.
As a result, they have been permanently dismissed from their jobs. Additionally, the onboard service provider has been fined Tk7,500 initially.
