Reasi, September 9: In a major breakthrough, the Reasi Police have arrested all four accused involved in a violent attack where a youth was brutally beaten with sticks inside a shop in Bhambla. While one suspect was apprehended immediately after the incident, the remaining three fleeing suspects were tracked down and arrested from Jalandhar, Punjab. The police operation relied heavily on technical surveillance combined with ground intelligence.
The incident occurred on September 4, 2026, around 4:00 PM, near a petrol pump in Bhambla. Four individuals allegedly barged into a local shop armed with sticks and launched an attack on Sachin Puri, leaving him severely injured. Before fleeing the scene, the attackers threatened him with dire consequences. Following the incident, a case was registered at Pouni Police Station under FIR No. 51/2026 under various relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Prompt action by the police led to the immediate arrest of Kartik Uppal, a resident of Raa Salyote, Reasi. However, the other three suspects attempted to evade arrest by fleeing Jammu & Kashmir. Considering the gravity of the crime, the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Reasi constituted a special team to trace the absconding suspects.
