Mumbai: ARailway Protection Force jawan who killed his supervising officer and three Muslim passengers on a train running from Jaipur to Mumbai on Monday, is heard in a video shared on social media, hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath.

This happened even as the body of one of the Muslim men lay at his feet. “They operate from Pakistan, this is what the media of the country is showing,” Singh is heard saying in the video.

“They have found out, they know everything, their leaders are there. If you want to vote, if you want to live in India, then I say, Modi and Yogi, these are the two, and your Thackeray.”

While the exact reason behind the firing is yet to be ascertained, GRP commissioner Ravindra Shisve told reporters that the purported video clip is being examined along with other materials.

The accused, Chetan Singh, 34, was arrested with his automatic weapon while trying to flee after passengers pulled the emergency chain near Mira Road station (on the Mumbai suburban network) around 6 am.

A court here remanded the constable in the custody of Government Railway Police till August 7.

Members of a high-level committee, set up to conduct a probe into the incident, have reached here and they are expected to meet officials concerned on Tuesday.
