Jammu Kashmir News | How 3, Including 2 Pakistanis, Escaped J&K Observation Home

A major security lapse has left the Jammu and Kashmir Police scrambling after three inmates, including two Pakistani nationals, staged a violent escape from an Observation Home in RS Pura on Monday evening. At approximately 5:15 PM, the inmates reportedly overpowered their guards using a pistol, hitting two on-duty policemen with the weapon's butt and opening fire before fleeing the premises. In the CCTV footage recovered from the facility, one of the escapees is seen cocking the handgun and firing, raising questions about how the inmates obtained a pistol inside the observation home and who handed it over to them. The escapees have been identified as Mohammad Sana-ullah and Ahsan Anwar, both Pakistani nationals, along with Karanjeet Singh, alias Gugga, a resident of RS Pura. Anwar was previously arrested under the Foreigners Act in 2019, Sana-ullah was being held under the EMCO Act in Rajouri, and Singh was facing serious charges, including attempted murder and violations of the Arms Act. The injured policemen, who sustained head injuries during the struggle, were taken to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.
