A passenger in the compartment where the shooting happened recounts to midday what was probably the most terrorstricken night for everyone there He tells midday that he and his wife had first heard angry voices which within fearfilled minutes ended in four people lying dead all shot by a seemingly crazed RPF personnel with an automatic rifleA Train passenger present in the same compartment where the incident happened spoke to midday on condition of anonymityAccused RPF constable Chetan Kumar SinghOn Sunday evening my wife kids and I boarded the train from Rajasthan to Mumbai Central Our coach was close to the pantry car When the train was scheduled to reach Borivli at around 6 orsquoclock I set an alarm for 500 am to pack our luggage and freshen up before our arrivalAs we were folding the bed sheets and organising our luggage I overheard some people arguing loudly near the pantry car coach Curious to know what was happening I startedwalking towards the pantry coach but my wife urged me not to go there She thought it might be a quarrel over standing near the door for the upcoming stationPolice take accused Chetan Kumar Singh for a medical checkup from Borivli GRP Police Station Picsatej shindeSuddenly three men wearing pantry uniforms rushed towards our coach and stopped near my wifersquos seat One of them seemed very frightened and was trying to hide under a seat Another man sat close to my wife and when I asked him why he was so scared he replied ldquoWoh goli maar raha hai Woh goli maar raha hairdquo He is firing shots Hearing this fear gripped me as I thought someone with a gun might be approaching our coach to harm the passengersThe three men left our coach and headed in the opposite direction of the pantry coach We were in a panic mode after hearing what they said Shortly after I saw a fourth person dressed in civilian clothes running in the same direction as the three men in pantry uniforms Within moments a person in a khaki uniform carrying a gun followed themI watched anxiously as the person in khaki uniform pointed the gun at the fourth individual in the vestibule Worried about the safety of other passengers I believed the officer refrained from firing perhaps to avoid risking others in the vestibule The whole situation scared me and I immediately retreated to my berth switching off the lights to avoid any potential dangerMinutes later two gunshots echoed through the train further intensifying our fears Although we thought about getting off the train we realised the train had stopped at an isolated location with no safe options We suspected someone might have pulled the chain The tense atmosphere persistedas we waited for further developmentsAt one point a personrsquos voice shouted ldquoAap police wale hain aur apne inko saabke saamne maar diyardquo You are a police officer and you killed him in front of everyone to which someone responded loudly ldquoYeh das logon ko maarta toh chalta kya aapkordquo Would you have let them kill 10 peopleWhen we finally reached Borivli station and got down we saw a large number of police officers present adding to the intensity of the situation
