The wife of Constable Chetan Kumar Singh, accused of killing four people including his senior on the Jaipur-Mumbai Express on Monday, has blamed senior RPF officers for the incident. Renu Singh claimed her husband has a clot in his brain, which puts him at risk of brain haemorrhage. She said all necessary documents about this were submitted to RPF. She claimed the incident took place because Singh was not allowed to go home when he complained of fever due to the unhealthy work conditions created by senior officers.

As the wife of the accused Constable Chetan Singh, I want to clarify that my husband is a soldier, not a killer,” Renu told mid-day on Thursday. She said Chetan had joined the Railway Protection Force in 2009 after his father, who was also in the railways, passed away. Chetan married her in 2012, and they have two children—a nine-year-old daughter and an eight-year-old son. They reside in a rented room at Mathura, Uttar Pradesh.
