The dismissed constable of the Railway Protection Force, Chetansinh Chaudhary accused in the killing of his senior colleague and three passengers on a moving train, appears to have harboured "anger and grudge" against a particular community showing no remorse for the crime committed, said the police in its response to Chaudhary's bail, according to a PTI report.
On July 31 this year, Chaudhary allegedly shot dead his superior, assistant sub inspector Tika Ram Meena, and three passengers on Jaipur-Mumbai Central Express near Maharashtra's Palghar and was held after some time when the train was brought to a halt at Mira Road.
Opposing his bail plea, the railway police in a written response said that if Chuadhary is granted a bail, it could create a negative image about the law and create fear, panic and insecurity among certain religious groups, as per a PTI report.
The relative of a victim also opposed the bail plea saying the accused is a "terrorist minded person" and "a threat to national security".

Following the July incident, Chaudhary was sacked from the Railway Protection Force is currently in judicial custody and lodged in a jail in Akola, some 560 kilometres from Mumbai.
He had filed a bail plea last month stating that he has been suffering from "haunted illusions of the ghostly world" and doing some "weird act".
"If such a person is granted bail, it could lead to loss of faith in the judicial system for both the victims' families and society at large. There will be no fear of law among criminals," the police said, adding: "there appeared to be no remorse about the crime he committed".
Meawhile his wife said that a "communal angle" should not be linked to her husband's alleged crime.
“The charges related to the communal angle are wrong," his wife said, adding that "there was fear in his mind due to the incidents against the Hindus in the past.” She also claimed that Chaudhary's MRI report showed a clot in his brain.
