In the video, RPF jawan Chetan Singh allegedly makes disturbing statements, alleging that the victims had connections to Pakistan, and admits to being responsible for their deaths. He goes on to express his views on political matters, urging people to vote for specific leaders. Some parts of his words are not entirely clear in the video, but the overall message is deeply distressing.
As the tragic news emerged, authorities commenced an investigation into the circumstances leading to this horrific act. The firing occurred within the B-5 coach of the train, with Singh firing at his colleague ASI Tikaram before taking the lives of three other passengers.

Moreover, it has been discovered that he was harboring frustration over a recent transfer, having previously served in Gujarat before being posted in Mumbai.
This distressing event has left the nation in shock and mourning, and authorities are working diligently to unravel the motive behind this senseless act of violence.
