Sleeper - SL
Passenger 1: Waitlist# 296 (Booking Status: W/L 725, GNWL)
Passenger 2: Waitlist# 297 (Booking Status: W/L 726, GNWL)
Passenger 3: Waitlist# 298 (Booking Status: W/L 727, GNWL)

--
As you can see this is the first day of booking for this train. The posting time was 09:35 hrs. So we can assume that the booking started only 90 mins before the purchase of this ticket. This train has 13 SL coaches. So we can assume that approximately 700 berths should have been available in the GN quota.
Going by the calculation more than 1400 tickets were booked and more than 425 tickets were cancelled in the short period of 90 mins.
Is their a mischief going on or is it practically possible?

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
