Former RPF Constable's Train Tragedy: Under Psychiatric Evaluation

Chetansinh Chaudhary, a dismissed Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable accused of killing a senior and three passengers on a train near Mumbai, is undergoing psychiatric evaluation for psychosis. A medical report from Thane Mental Hospital describes his need for continued observation and investigation of his mental health condition.

A dismissed Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable, Chetansinh Chaudhary, is currently under psychiatric evaluation following his alleged involvement in the murder of a senior officer and three passengers aboard a moving train near Mumbai in 2023. A report from the Thane Mental Hospital claims Chaudhary is suffering from "psychosis."

The court handling Chaudhary's case requested a medical assessment from the Thane prison authorities, prompting the submission of an update from the hospital. The report revealed that Chaudhary was admitted on February 20 due to "abnormal behavior and poor cooperation," indicating an extended need for medical scrutiny.

Chaudhary, aged 34, is facing serious charges, including murder, following the deadly train incidents on July 31, 2023. He allegedly used his automatic service weapon to shoot his superior, Assistant Sub-Inspector Tika Ram Meena, and three passengers before being apprehended. Psychiatrists continue to investigate his mental health status.
