JAMMU: In a swift response to a broad daylight firing incident in the Gangyal area, Jammu South Police led by SP South Ajay Sharma have identified the main accused and seized the vehicle used in the commission of the crime. The incident occurred at approximately 2:20 PM today, leaving two gangsters injured.
According to police, the gangsters— Vikramjeet Singh alias Vicky alias Vikram, son of Mohan Singh of Model Town Gangyal (currently residing in Sehora), and Paramjeet Singh alias Pankaj alias Murga, son of Harnam Singh of Shiv Nagar Sehora, Tehsil Bishnah — are both known history-sheeters who were recently released from jail after undergoing preventive detention under the Public Safety Act (PSA) on March 31, 2025.
Immediately following the incident, a team from Police Station Gangyal arrived at the scene, ensured the safety of the injured individuals, and facilitated their emergency evacuation to GMC Bakshi Nagar for medical treatment.
In a major breakthrough, police have seized the Swift Dzire vehicle (JK08C-1955) believed to have been used in the attack. The registered owner of the vehicle has been detained for questioning to determine their role, if any, in the incident and to reconstruct the sequence of events.
During preliminary investigations, Harjot Singh alias Anda, a resident of Digiana Camp and a known figure in gang-related and organised criminal activities, has been identified as the main accused. He is suspected to have orchestrated the attack with the help of unidentified associates, all of whom are now being actively pursued by law enforcement.
A case has been registered under FIR No. 68/2025 at Police Station Gangyal under sections 109, 111, and 191(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with the Arms Act provision 3/25.
“All accused have a history of organised criminal behavior and are being dealt with under the strictest legal provisions,” a senior police official stated. “Efforts are ongoing to apprehend all those involved and bring them to justice.” Further investigation is currently underway.
