Raigarh Railway Outpost Turns Crime Scene as Constable Fatally Shoots Colleague
Deadly dawn showdown rocks Raigarh railway outpost in Chhattisgarh.
In a chilling episode that has stunned the railway security establishment, Head Constable KS Lader of the Railway Protection Force allegedly executed his colleague Head Constable PK Mishra by firing four rounds from his official service pistol inside the RPF outpost at Raigarh Railway Station, Chhattisgarh, at approximately 4 am on Wednesday, transforming a routine night shift into a scene of unimaginable violence within a supposedly secure government facility.
According to preliminary accounts from the scene, the two head constables, both seasoned members of the force entrusted with safeguarding railway property and passengers, became embroiled in a fierce verbal confrontation over a matter that remains shrouded in mystery, rapidly escalating beyond control until Lader drew his 9mm pistol and unleashed a hail of bullets at point-blank range in the confined quarters of the outpost barracks.
PK Mishra sustained multiple gunshot wounds to vital areas and collapsed instantly in a pool of blood, succumbing to his injuries on the spot despite the immediate proximity of fellow personnel, with first responders confirming that no medical intervention could revive him before the body was carefully removed and transported under police escort to the district hospital for a detailed postmortem examination.

Government Railway Police responded with swift efficiency, apprehending KS Lader within minutes of the gunfire, disarming him and securing the weapon as primary evidence, while formally registering a case of murder and placing the accused under arrest pending further interrogation and reconstruction of the exact sequence of events that led to this fatal breakdown in discipline.
Senior officers from both the Railway Protection Force and Chhattisgarh Police have descended on Raigarh station to supervise a thorough multi-agency investigation aimed at uncovering the precise trigger for the dispute, examining duty rosters, psychological stress factors, and possible lapses in weapon-handling protocols, as the incident sends shockwaves through railway security circles across the country.
