He said that he along with his two brothers wanted to go to their native town of Azamgarh by Farrakka Express train, but they had only two confirmed tickets." The DCP said Yadav admitted that he wore the uniform of Delhi Police ASI so that he would not be questioned during travel by train without a ticket.
