An Indian railway security guard, identified as Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Chetan Singh, allegedly shot dead a colleague and three passengers on board the Jaipur-Mumbai Central Superfast Express train.
The incident occurred early on Monday near the town of Palghar in Maharashtra, about 5 am (23:30 GMT on Sunday).
In the video, Singh was seen standing next to a blood-soaked body with his rifle in hand, and he hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, after the shooting.
“If you want to live and vote in Hindustan [India], I am telling you, it’s only Modi and Yogi,” he was heard saying in one of the videos verified by Al Jazeera.
He reportedly fired 12 rounds from his service rifle, killing his colleague, 57, and a passenger. Later, he allegedly killed two other passengers in separate train coaches.
Among the victims were two identified as Muslims, Abdul Kadar, 64, and Asgar Abbas Ali, 48, a bangle seller, while the third victim’s identity remains unknown.
