No mood to listen to senior constable
The Jaipur Mumbai train shootout rocked the country and sent shock waves how could a Railway Police Jawan
Chetan Singh indulge in such an act.
Reports reveal that Seniors tried to make him understand, but Singh was adamant and was in no mood to listen and
insisted on being relieved from duty early and to be dropped off at Valsad railway station.
Reportedly, angered by his senior’s refusal to relieve him from duty early, the Railway Police Force constable fired four bullets at assistant sub-inspector Tikaram Meena who succumbed to the bullets.
As per FIR, the accused constable Chetan Singh had reported that he was unwell due to which he wanted to be relieved from duty few hours before his shift ended but as his seniors insisted on completing his duty, it agitated him following which he shot Meena and three other passengers in the speeding train.
According to another RPF constable Amay Acharya’s statement to Borivali GRP, “Singh, Meena and three other ticket checkers had met me in the pantry coach in the wee hours on Monday. Meena told him that Singh is unwell after which she touched him to check but could not gauge whether he had fever.
Meena was trying to explain to him that they will reach Mumbai in two or three hours and insisted on completing his duty
but he wouldn’t listen.
And as Singh was not agreeing with him, Meena informed Mumbai Central control room who instead asked him to convince him. The ASI had even called their Assistant Security Commissioner Sujit Kumar and even he tried to make him understand but Singh was not ready to listen to anyone, read Acharya’s statement.
Meena further asked Acharya to get a cold drink for him and requested Singh to take rest for some time.
He was seated next to him while he was resting but after 10 to 15 minutes he suddenly got up and forcefully took the rifle from me. As he was not ready to give the rifle, he even tried to strangle Acharya told police.
Later, he realised that Singh had accidentally taken his rifle following which Acharya along with other RPF men chased him and took custody of his rifle.
Despite returning his rifle and taking possession of his own rifle, Acharya saw that Singh was very furious. Meena was still trying to explain to him but Singh kept arguing. Even Acharya intervened in between and tried to make him understand, but he was not listening to either of us. So he decided to move away from the spot.
As he was leaving, Acharya noticed that Singh was removing the safety catch of his rifle following which he informed Meena and they subsequently asked him to calm down.
