JAMMU, Apr 10: Former legislator and Apni Party’s Provincial President for Jammu, Manjit Singh today expressed deep concern and shock over the violent assault on a police team by a group of drug- peddlers in the Balol Khad area of Samba district on Wednesday late evening.
The attack left three policemen, including an SHO and a Sub-Inspector, seriously injured. The SHO Pushpinder Singh and Sub-Inspector Abrar Mirza have been referred to a hospital in Amritsar for specialized treatment.
Expressing his concern over the incident, Manjit Singh said in a statement, “It is deeply alarming that drug peddlers have grown so bold and dangerous that they no longer hesitate to attack law enforcement officers. If left unchecked, the threat they pose to society could be far more severe.”
“I urge the authorities, especially the police, to ensure these attackers are nabbed as soon as possible so that they can be brought to justice,” he asserted.
Singh said that he has met Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) today and urged him to ensure immediate arrest of the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
