A key witness in the July 2023 Mumbai train firing case told a city court on Friday that he saw the accused, former RPF constable Chetan Singh Chaudhary, escort a passenger out of a train coach at gunpoint just before the man was allegedly killed.

According to the PTI, the witness, a bank manager who was travelling on the same Jaipur–Mumbai Central Superfast Express, appeared before Additional Sessions Judge M.H. Pathan at the Dindoshi court. He recounted the events that unfolded in the early hours of July 31, 2023, when Chaudhary allegedly shot and killed four people, including his superior, Assistant Sub-Inspector Tika Ram Meena, and three passengers.
