A major security alert unfolded in Ramban district early Friday when police faced a security breach as a suspicious Scorpio vehicle allegedly sped past a security checkpoint in Chanderkote. The incident occurred shortly after 3:30 a.m., triggering a swift response from law enforcement agencies in the region.
According to reports, the Scorpio, bearing registration number JK02AK-1743, was traveling from the Srinagar side towards Jammu. Personnel stationed at the Chanderkote checkpoint attempted to signal the vehicle to stop, but the driver ignored the instructions and accelerated instead.
In a bid to halt the fleeing vehicle, police personnel fired three warning shots. Despite their efforts, the Scorpio continued its journey towards Nashri. This prompted an extensive search operation involving the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Central Reserve Police Force, and the Army.
Senior Superintendent of Police Ramban, Arun Gupta, promptly arrived at the scene to oversee the unfolding operation. “The district police have seized the suspicious Scorpio near Dalwas, and further investigation is underway. Detailed information will be shared after the investigation progresses,” Gupta stated.
The police have intensified searches in the area as they work to determine why the vehicle attempted to evade the security checkpoint. Authorities are exploring all angles concerning the incident, and they urge community members to report any further suspicious activity.
Security concerns in the region are heightened, with this incident highlighting the continuous efforts of law enforcement to maintain peace and order. The police are committed to investigating this incident thoroughly to ensure the safety of the Ramban district.
