‘Just Not Safe’: Son of Victim Shot Dead by RPF Constable Says of Living in India ( The Wire )

The accused, Railway Protection Force constable Chetan Singh, is now alleged to have been of sound mental health when committing the killings.

New Delhi: Hussain Bhanpurwala, whose father was shot dead by Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Chetan Singh on July 31, told the Times of India that he feels it is no longer safe for his family to live in India.

“My father had a business of baby products and was doing well. But this incident has shattered our lives. We will take our mother with us to Dubai and don’t intend to move here anymore. It’s just not safe,” Hussain, who lives and works in Dubai with his brother, told TOI.

Responding to earlier statements made in Singh’s remand copy indicating that he committed the killings due to being of an unstable mind, Hussain expressed doubts over this narrative.

“I have so many questions … Media reports say that Singh had an argument with his senior over not being relieved from duty. The police have no explanation as to why were my father and two passengers from different coaches killed,” TOI quoted him as saying.

“If Singh was mentally ill as he claims, how did he only target bearded passengers?”
