If you are talking loudly or playing music inside the train at night and a fellow passenger complains about you, you may get into trouble.
Smoking will cost you dearly

Still, such pictures keep coming out from trains, in which more people than the prescribed limit are seen travelling in the reserved coaches of trains. In such a situation, if you are caught travelling without a ticket during a night journey, the TTE can not only impose a fine on you but can also take you to jail.
