MUMBAI: After shooting dead his superior and three passengers on the Jaipur-Mumbai Superfast Express, railway police constable Chetan Singh had entered coach S5 and threatened a burqa-clad woman at gunpoint. But due to an uproar from co-passengers, he had to retreat.
The three male passengers who lost their lives on the train were similarly identified by the constable by their appearance. The woman and her husband presumed that they escaped because Singh had run out of ammunition. They were shocked when they learnt later from the investigators that he had eight more rounds in his gun.
