After the incident, Choudhary’s family claimed that was suffering from mental health issues, while the police chargesheeted him on finding no such evidence. The trial in the case is underway but during the last hearing held earlier this month, the examination of a witness was put on hold at the request of Choudhary’s lawyer who said that it should not be done in his absence.

Choudhary was arrested on July 31, 2023, for allegedly gunning down his senior colleague, assistant sub-inspector Tikaram Meena, and three Muslim passengers on the Jaipur-Mumbai Central Superfast Express.
