Why is the dismissal of the RPF constable in the Jaipur-Mumbai train firing case being challenged based on mental illness
Examining the plea for bail by the dismissed RPF constable citing mental illness in the train firing case
- The dismissal of the RPF constable in the Jaipur-Mumbai train firing case is being challenged based on mental illness for several reasons.
- Firstly, the constable's defense argues that he was suffering from a mental illness during the time of the incident, which impaired his judgment and decision-making abilities.
- Secondly, they claim that his mental illness prevented him from fully comprehending the consequences of his actions, suggesting that he may not be fully responsible for the crime.
- Additionally, the defense argues that the constable's mental illness might have affected his ability to control his emotions and impulses, leading to him shooting without proper justification.
- Moreover, they point out that the constable's prior medical history indicates a pre-existing mental condition, which could have exacerbated the circumstances that led to the firing.
