New Delhi: Former Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Chetan Singh Chaudhary, who killed his senior and three Muslims on a moving train on July 31, had abused, assaulted, and threatened a 45-year-old Muslim auto driver in Ujjain in 2016, Hindustan Times reported.
Singh threatened one Wajid Khan over a span of several months in 2016-17. Khan filed a complaint with RPF officials in 2017 after Singh physically assaulted him. After an inquiry – which Khan said was delayed by a year – Singh was transferred from his post.
Targeting of Muslims by Chaudhary not new
Recounting the harassment he faced at the hands of Chaudhary, Khan said Chaudhary used to forcefully get into his auto and pressurise him to drive to far-off places without paying. In one instance when Khan could not give a ride to Chaudhary in his auto due to personal reasons, in late January or February 2017, the latter abused him, calling him a “traitor” and “terrorist”. Chaudhary said Muslims are “terrorists” and that their real place was in jail, Khan recounted.
