Demand for police verification of outsiders.
Diplomat Desk
Jammu:DD, Jammu Gang wars, criminal incidents and illegal drug trade are becoming a challenge in the temple city of Jammu. The common man of Jammu is living in the shadow of terror today. Yesterday, in broad daylight, a youth was shot dead in the middle of Jammu city due to gang war and the accused escaped easily.
This proves the claims of the police administration about three-layer security and vigilance, and even birds cannot fly, to be hollow, stated by Manish Sahni, President,Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu-Kashmir unit.
In a press conference held today at the party’s state central office, state chief Manish Sahni expressed deep concern over the increasing incidents of crime, theft and drug smuggling in Jammu and said that this is the second shooting incident in Jammu city in the last 20 days, on January 3, a BJP leader’s son was shot in broad daylight. Yesterday, a man was shot dead in broad daylight a few meters away from the Navabad police station and the main Republic Day celebration venue. The accused managed to escape. At the same time, the suspicion of these gangsters being in contact with the notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is a matter of grave concern. It is clear that like other states, the notorious Bishnoi gang has spread its tentacles to Jammu. It is clear that Jammu is becoming an ideal refuge for outside criminals.Outsider criminals in connivance with local youths are openly committing such crimes as part of a plan to create an atmosphere of terror in Jammu and make life difficult for the common people.
At the same time, incidents of theft of two-wheelers and other things are a daily affair. Jammu’s ring road has become a hub of crime and robbery. Cases of drug trafficking make headlines almost daily. In 2024, 300 people were arrested in 200 cases of drug trafficking in Jammu district. Heroin and other drugs worth several hundred crores of rupees have been recovered. Sahni said that the main reason for the increasing criminal and theft incidents in Jammu is the outsiders camping in Jammu without police verification and information. These people easily commit criminal incidents and return to their own or neighboring states. Sahni has demanded from the police administration to strictly crush hooliganism and keep a close watch on outsiders along with verification and record.
