‘Terror attack targeting Muslims’: On-duty constable shoots dead colleague, then hunts and kills Muslims on train

The Constable.

In the video Chetan Chaudhary after killing Muslims can be heard saying, ‘all Muslims are controlled by Pakistan’, ‘for India there is only Yogi, and Modi’

A Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable on escort duty fired 12 rounds from his automatic service rifle, first killing his collegaue and then three passengers on board the Jaipur-Mumbai Central Superfast Express early Monday, reports said.

Two of the dead passengers were Muslims identified as Asgar Abbas Ali (48) and Abdul Kadar Mohamed Hussain Bhanpurwala (64).

In one such video, the accused, wielding an automatic service rifle, was heard saying: “Agar vote dena hai, Hindustan mei rahna hai, to Modi aur Yogi… Yahi do hai (If you want to stay in Hindustan, vote for Yogi (UP chief minister) and Modi (Prime Minister).”

According to an Indian Express report, two of the four victims were identified as Abdul Kadir and Asgar Kai. Identity on another victim is yet to be ascertained. Quoting sources, the report states that the shooting took place after a discussion took a communal turn and an argument broke out.

At around 5 am, Singh first fired at assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Tikaram Meena inside coach number B-5. He then shot dead Abdul Kadir and an unidentified man in the pantry car before moving to the S-6 coach, where he shot dead Asgar Kai, a bangle seller from Jaipur.

In one of the videos, the accused officer, constable Chetan Singh, is purportedly seen standing next to a grievously injured passenger who is bleeding profusely. Other passengers, apparently shell-shocked, are also seen in the video.
