On Monday, a city court initiated the trial of Chetansinh Chaudhary, a former RPF constable accused of fatally shooting four people on a Mumbai-bound train. The first witness, who identified the weapon used, had his testimony recorded, marking a crucial step in the case.
Although the accused was unable to attend the session via video conference due to technical glitches, the court proceeded to document the complainant's account. On the next hearing scheduled for November 27, defense lawyers are expected to cross-examine the witness.
Chetansinh Chaudhary faces charges under several IPC sections, including murder, for his alleged actions on July 31, 2023, when he purportedly opened fire on the Jaipur-Mumbai Central Superfast Express, resulting in the deaths of his superior officer and three passengers.
