Jammu : In a significant success for law enforcement, Jammu Police have apprehended a notorious history-sheeter, Bagh Hussain alias Baghu alias Sunny, son of Mangat Ali, originally a resident of Laswara (Tehsil Bishnah) and currently residing near Balol Nallah, Kikri Morh, Bari Brahmana. The arrest, made in the state of Haryana, followed a sustained investigation into FIR No. 53/2025 under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Arms Act, registered at Police Station Miran Sahib.

Recovery Operation and Retaliatory Fire:

Following his arrest, Bagh Hussain confessed during interrogation to having hidden a loaded pistol and an axe (kulhadi) in Banachak village, under the jurisdiction of Police Station Bishnah. A recovery operation was swiftly launched by a police team led by Inspector Jai Pal Sharma and PSI Ajesh Jamwal of PS Miran Sahib, under the close supervision of SDPO R.S. Pura, S.Gurmeet Singh, and with key operational support from SHO Bishnah Inspector Sushil Choudhary.

However, during the recovery effort, the accused attempted to snatch the service weapon of Constable Arun Sharma, resulting in a violent scuffle that left the constable injured. In the face of imminent danger and in self-defence, the police were forced to open fire, leading to injuries to the accused. Bagh Hussain was immediately shifted to Sub District Hospital (SDH) Bishnah for treatment, where he remains under tight police custody.

A Long Trail of Criminality:

The accused has a notorious criminal past, with 27 FIRs lodged against him in various police stations across Jammu, Samba, and even Himachal Pradesh. These include eight separate cases involving attacks on police parties, the most recent being a violent assault on the Station House Officer of PS Bari Brahmana. The breadth of charges against him includes:

• Attempt to murder

• Murder

• Dacoity

• Kidnapping

• Criminal conspiracy

• Illegal arms possession

• Rioting

• Obstruction of government duties

This arrest has not only removed a dangerous individual from the streets but is also expected to provide leads into a broader criminal network operating across state borders.

Police Response and Commendation:

SSP Jammu Shri Joginder Singh (JKPS) and Incharge SP Headquarters Shri Ajay Sharma (JKPS) have commended the courage, quick thinking, and professionalism displayed by the police personnel involved in the operation. They noted that the swift response and adherence to duty by the team not only resulted in the recovery of weapons but also ensured the safety of the public and officers involved.

Law Enforcement Commitment:

This case highlights the unwavering commitment of Jammu & Kashmir Police to uphold the rule of law, dismantle criminal networks, and ensure public safety. The investigation is ongoing, and more arrests and disclosures are expected as police probe the extent of the accused’s activities and affiliations.

The arrest of Bagh Hussain is a major blow to criminal elements operating in the region and stands as a testament to the vigilance, resilience, and operational effectiveness of Jammu Police. The public is assured that no effort will be spared to bring all such offenders to justice.
