He can confirm it sir but as per the rules given to him , he is instructed to check your ticket since its booked via Counter. If he does nt , then he will be under problems , Eg) If u alight at the station , suddenly the squad checks means , its a problem for him since the message format differs. So he cant take risk. You are right in your part about verifying the identity but he is instructed to check the ticket for all counter issued ones.
