GRP Files 247-Page Chargesheet in Mumbai Local Train Killing of NM College Professor

The case now advances to court on eyewitness accounts, CCTV identifications, pending lab work.

Overview

  • Borivali Government Railway Police filed a 247-page chargesheet against 27-year-old Omkar Shinde in the fatal stabbing of NM College professor Alok Singh at Malad station.
  • Investigators list 63 witnesses, including four passengers who say they saw the stabbing, with two key accounts recorded before a Borivali magistrate, among them colleague Sudhirkumar Suryakumar Trivedi.
  • Police say CCTV footage helped identify and arrest Shinde the day after the attack and, working with the Railway Protection Force, helped trace additional passengers using facial-recognition tools.
  • The chargesheet cites forensic testing of bloodstains on the accused’s clothes, while the lab report on blood taken from the suspected weapon, a sharp tweezer, is still awaited.
  • Police describe an argument as the train reached Malad on January 24, when Singh was allegedly stabbed in the abdomen with a tweezer and later died in hospital, and the filing now moves the case into the prosecution phase.
