Hussain Bhanpurwala, son of Abdul Qadirbhai Mohammed Hussain Bhanpurwala who was one of the 3 bearded men shot dead by Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Chetan Singh when he went on a shooting spree after disagreements with his senior, has expressed that he has plans of relocating his family from India to Dubai where he is currently working along with his brother, in a conversation with the Times of India. Abdul Qadirbhai Mohammed Hussain Bhanpurwala had a business related to selling baby products. The incident has brought an emotional as well as a financial strain on his family. He was also disappointed with the apparent lack of support for their family from the state government of Maharashtra. 

 If Singh was mentally ill as he claims, how did he only target bearded passengers? I have so many questions. Media reports say that Singh had an argument with his senior over not being relieved from duty. The police have no explanation as to why my father and two passengers from different coaches were killed. My father had a business of baby products and was doing well. But this incident has shattered our lives. We will take our mother with us to Dubai and don’t intend to move here anymore. It’s just not safe,” he is quoted to have said to the Times of India.
