Court Orders New Mental Health Exam for Train Killing Accused

A Mumbai court has directed prison authorities to move former RPF constable Chetan Singh Choudhary, who is accused of a fatal 2023 train shooting, back to Thane mental hospital. This move is to further evaluate his mental health and fitness to stand trial.

Choudhary's bail plea, filed due to a claimed 'white matter disease,' initiated the court's renewed scrutiny. Previously, he was at the Thane Regional Mental Hospital from February 20, 2025, to July 12, 2025. A recent jail medical report from December 18 last year indicated his physical condition was stable.
