Pakistani nationals fire at cops to escape from observation home in Jammu's RS Pura sector. Sixteen hours after three inmates escaped from an observation home in Jammu’s R S Pura sector, police said they are still tracing the accused. Three inmates, including two Pakistani nationals and a local gangster, escaped from an observation home in the R S Pura sector of Jammu after allegedly attacking and injuring two policemen, triggering a massive manhunt. The escape took place around 5.15 PM on Monday at the Juvenile Observation Home in the border area. The accused have been identified as Karajeet Singh alias Gugga, a resident of Dablehar in R S Pura, and Pakistani nationals Mohammad Suna-ullah and Ahsan Anwar. The police are investigating how a locally-made pistol reached the inmate inside the observation home. Two policemen identified as SPO Vinay and Head Constable Praveen suffered injuries from the incident. Although the three were lodged in a juvenile facility, they are no longer minors. Two of the inmates are above 19 years of age and one is over 21. They were minors at the time they were admitted to the observation home but have since attained majority. Special teams have been constituted and a massive manhunt is underway, with search parties conducting raids at multiple locations across Jammu. A Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team, along with Jammu and Kashmir Police, is investigating the case. Police have registered FIR No. 39/2026 at Police Station R S Pura under sections 109 (attempt to murder), 132 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of duty), 262 (resisting or escaping from lawful custody), 307, and 111 (organised crime) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Section 3/25 of the Arms Act related to unauthorised possession or use of firearms. A purported video of the gangster, said to be associated with the Khauff gang, resorting to a few rounds of firing inside the juvenile home went viral on social media. J&K Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat and Inspector General of Police Bhim Sen Tuti, along with other officers, visited the spot. Meanwhile, former DGP S P Vaid questioned the police over the incident and said that interestingly, all three inmates were no longer juveniles. “They should have been shifted out of the juvenile home. The Juvenile Justice Board administers juvenile observation homes,” he said in a post on X. Vaid said the police must seek permission before entering such homes. “One of the inmates procured a locally made katta and all three have escaped, possibly trying to cross the border. I am sure police teams will catch them before they do,” the former DGP said.
