The Railways Ministry has called upon all not to purchase railway tickets on social networking sites.
"Do not be cheated by purchasing train tickets from social networking sites," the Railways Ministry said in a precautionary message on Sunday.
The ministry said nowadays an organized gang is selling fake train tickets by opening different accounts, groups and pages through advertisements on social networking sites.
"Many people are being cheated in this way," it said.
The ministry called upon all to purchase inter-city railway tickets through its app.
The ministry said tough legal actions are being taken against black marketing of the tickets.
