Police Arrests Five Absconders in North Kashmir After Decades
In a significant development, the Jammu and Kashmir Police in Baramulla announced the apprehension of two long-standing absconders who had evaded arrest for over three decades. The individuals, identified as Nazir Ahmad Mir and Ali Mohd Kawa, had been on the run since the late 1980s and 1990s, respectively, in connection with cases registered at Police Station Pattan and Police Station Tangmarg.
According to a media handout issued by the police, the arrests were made following the execution of warrants under Section 512 of the CrPC, which had been pending with the authorities for years. The accused, hailing from different areas within the region, were tracked down and detained by a special police team operating under the supervision of the SDPO Tangmarg.
The successful operation involved the collaborative efforts of law enforcement officials, including the SHOs of Police Stations Tangmarg and Kunzer. Both individuals were presented before the Hon’ble Court of Law following their apprehension, marking a significant breakthrough in ongoing efforts to uphold justice and combat crime in the community.
The police emphasized their commitment to maintaining law and order, underscoring their resolve to take stringent action against those involved in criminal activities. The arrest of these fugitives serves as a testament to the relentless pursuit of justice by law enforcement agencies, instilling confidence within the community about the efficacy of their efforts in ensuring public safety.
The news of the arrest has garnered attention for its rarity, as the individuals had managed to evade capture for an exceptionally long period. The successful culmination of the operation underscores the perseverance and dedication of the police force in tackling longstanding cases and bringing offenders to justice.
The apprehension of these absconders is expected to have a positive impact on the overall security landscape in Baramulla and the surrounding areas. It highlights the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between law enforcement agencies and the judiciary in addressing cases of prolonged evasion of justice.
As the arrested individuals await further legal proceedings, the incident serves as a reminder of the enduring commitment of the authorities to uphold the rule of law and ensure the safety and security of all citizens.
