X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, was ordered to remove footage of Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Chetan Singh, seemingly recorded by passengers in the Jaipur–Mumbai Central Express after he allegedly shot his superior and three passengers — Sub-Inspector Tika Ram Meena, and Abdul Qadirbhai Mohammed Hussain Bhanpurwala, Akhtar Abbas Ali, and Sadar Mohammed Hussain.
Users posted screenshots of emails notifying them of the video’s takedown within India; the posts remain accessible outside the country.
Although the footage could not be verified by The Hindu, officials have not denied its authenticity. It shows Mr. Singh standing over a blurred-out body lying on the floor of a train compartment in a pool of blood, surrounded by stunned passengers as he goes on a tirade mentioning Pakistan, Indian media, and references Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and “Thackeray”.
