The swift arrests and recovery of weapons involved in the assault highlight the police’s proactive response to public grievances and efforts to maintain law and order.
The incident originated on 5th December 2024 when Ajay Kumar, a resident of Pandorian in Jammu North, reported being attacked by three assailants armed with a toka (sharp weapon)and a lathi (wooden stick). The attack left Kumar with severe injuries, necessitating urgent medical attention at GMC Jammu.
The Accused
The perpetrators were identified as:
1.Paramjeet Singh alias Pamma, son of Sohan Singh, resident of Pandorian.
2.Joginder Lal alias Jinder, son of Lakshman Dass, resident of Pandorian.
3.Balvinder Kumar alias Balu, son of Charan Dass, resident of Bore Camp, Chatha, Jammu.
Investigation and Arrest :The case was registered at Police Station Kanachak under FIR No. 187/24, citing multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act, including 126(2), 351(2),109, 3(5) BNS, and 4/25 Arms Act. A dedicated police team was formed to apprehend the suspects.
Through a series of coordinated raids and intelligence-led operations, all three accused were arrested within days. The police recovered the weapons used in the crime—a toka and a lathi—based on the suspects’ confessions. Additionally, a Safari vehicle (JK02AR0024), allegedly used in the assault, was seized.
Although details of the motive remain under investigation, initial interrogation suggests that the attack stemmed from a personal rivalry or dispute. The police are probing possible connections to previous altercations or criminal activities involving the accused.
Community Response :The prompt action by the Jammu Police has earned them widespread appreciation from the local community. Residents have commended their efficiency in apprehending the culprits, recovering the weapons, and ensuring public safety.
Broader Implications :This case underscores the importance of community cooperation in law enforcement. Ajay Kumar’s timely reporting of the incident enabled the authorities to take swift action, setting a precedent for vigilance and collaboration between citizens and police.
The recovery of weapons also highlights the pressing issue of illegal arms possession in the region. The use of crude but dangerous weapons like tokas and lathis points to the need for stricter checks and surveillance to curb such activities.
Ongoing Investigation :While the accused are in custody, investigations are underway to ascertain the complete chain of events, potential accomplices, and the exact circumstances leading to the crime. The seized vehicle and weapons will likely serve as critical evidence during the judicial proceedings.
