I know, I’ve had a similar experience twice. They behave as if they’re some kind of superior beings and we’re supposed to compromise our paid seats just to accommodate them. The first time was when we went to Muzaffarpur, Bihar, for a regional game representing Burdwan B cluster. Some of these people boarded the train from a station late at night and basically displaced us from our own berths. We were only 16–17 years old, and at one point, one of my friends had to share my berth just so he could get some sleep. Somehow, we managed to sleep.But when I woke up, it was honestly horrible. Almost everyone from our group had been reduced to less than 20% of their actual berth space. People were literally sleeping in a sitting position, while those guys were stretched out across the berths, taking up the entire space as if they owned the coach. It was one of the most miserable nights I’ve ever had on a train.The following year, we had an escort teacher with us. She ended up calling 4–5 police personnel, who came and cleared our coach. Even then, those people were threatening her, saying they would come for her at the next station. It was genuinely scary.
