Trial Begins in Mumbai Train Shooting Case

The trial of the Mumbai train shooting case, involving the RPF constable accused of killing four people, has begun. The first witness has identified the weapon used. The accused, Chetansinh Chaudhary, faces multiple charges and was not present due to technical issues connecting from jail.

The trial of the Mumbai train shooting case started in a city court, with the first witness identifying the weapon used in the alleged crime. The trial involves RPF constable Chetansinh Chaudhary, accused of fatally shooting his superior officer and three passengers on a train.

The shooting occurred on July 31, 2023, on the Jaipur-Mumbai Superfast Express as it neared Mumbai. The accused was previously dismissed from the service and has been charged under various legal provisions, including murder and promoting enmity between different groups, among others.

The first witness, a dismissed RPF staffer, presented his testimony in court in the accused's absence due to technical difficulties connecting him from jail. The trial continues, with cross-examination scheduled for November 27.
