Three inmates, including two Pakistani nationals escaped

In a major incident of breach of security, three inmates, including two Pakistani nationals, escaped from Ranbir Singh Pora juvenile home, located close to the International border with Pakistan in Jammu, after opening fire on policemen on sentry duty on Monday.

Till the time of filing the report, the police authorities had not issued any official statement leading to the escape of two Pakistani nationals from inside the juvenile home. Meanwhile, a high alert has been sounded by the police to arrest them immediately. The two policemen who sustained injuries have been identified as Vinay Kumar (SPO) and Head Constable Parveen Kumar.

Official sources claimed that around 5.30 pm on Monday, information was received by police that three inmates of the RS Pura Juvenile Observation Home escaped from custody after assaulting and injuring two police personnel deployed on guard duty.

The escaped inmates from Pakistan have been identified as Ahsan Anwar S/o Mohd. Anwar R/o Nankana Sahib, Punjab, Pakistan and Mohd Sanaullah S/o Mohd. Zaffer R/o Basti Jawewala, Tehsil Dinpur, District Muzaffarabad, Punjab, Pakistan and third local Karanjit Singh @ Gugga S/o Arjun Singh R/o Dablehar, RS Pura.

Official sources confirmed that both Pakistani inmates were shifted to the juvenile home after they were nabbed by the security forces while attempting to cross the International border in 2018.

They were lodged in the juvenile home as they were minors at that time.

Interestingly, the duo continues to stay put in the juvenile home even after turning major.
