While seeking his custody, the GRP officers told the court they are yet to obtain the CCTV footage of the entire train journey. Apart from this, GRP officers told the court that they wanted to find out if Singh was instigated by someone to commit the crime.
New charges:
Apart from the previous charges, the Borivli GRP has added IPC Section 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) to the FIR against Singh.
Also, Sections 363 (punishment for kidnapping), 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint), and 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement) of the IPC based on the statement of Jaffar Khan, a witness in the case have been added.
Khan in his statement told the GRP that Singh took one of the deceased passengers Sayed Saifuddin at gunpoint from the B2 coach and shot him at point-blank range near the pantry, added the report.
Hatred against Muslims:
According to the Mid-Day report, Singh does not have any regrets for killing four innocent people. “Singh told the GRP and the RPF personnel that if the train had not stopped, then he would have killed eight-10 more people. He has said that his final wish is to go to Pakistan and kill everyone there," the daily quoted a GRP source as saying.
“This is the reason why he refused to undergo a medical check-up by a bearded doctor (an intern) when he was taken to Cooper Hospital following his arrest. He thought he was a Muslim. When other young doctors without a beard were called, he did not protest," the source added.
On the other side, the secretary of the Borivli Bar Association -- Singh’s lawyer Surendra Landage -- claimed the RPF constable is mentally unwell. “Singh was not in his senses at the time of the crime," he said
