05 NOVEMBER Jalandhar: A disturbance erupted late at night outside D‑Mart in the upscale Model Town area when a police team from Delhi conducted a raid to apprehend a wanted suspect in a criminal case. Based on the mobile location, the police cordoned off the area around D‑Mart and captured the suspect. However, as the police began to take him away, a crowd gathered. During this time, the suspect claimed innocence, instigated a commotion, and used the crowd to escape.
The suspect’s Delhi‑registered bike was left at the scene and was seized by the police. The bike’s number is being reported as DL‑11‑PJ‑2192. After the incident, the area remained in a state of chaos for quite some time.
The suspect had come to Jalandhar after a knife‑attack incident in Delhi According to initial information, an FIR had been filed against the suspect in connection with a knife‑attack in Delhi’s Rohini area. The Delhi police were searching for him in that case. It is reported that the suspect arrived in Jalandhar after the incident.
Delhi police traced the suspect’s mobile location, which led the team to the vicinity of D‑Mart in Model Town. The police surrounded the area, identified the suspect and arrested him. However, while he was being taken away, he took advantage of the ensuing chaos and fled.
Escalating turmoil amid family and public opposition According to people present at the scene, during the Delhi police operation a person accused the female police officer of being pushed. The shouting of women and children present at the site heightened the tension. Some individuals questioned the police action and protested.
Different reports, however, present varying accounts of the incident. One report states that the family alleged the police attempted to apprehend a person based on mistaken identity and mistreated the relatives. A full verification of what actually happened during the police operation will only be possible after a thorough investigation.
Bottle of liquor and two glasses found in the Delhi police’s private vehicle Another startling aspect emerged in this case. During a search of the private vehicle used by the Delhi police team, a bottle of liquor and two glasses containing alcohol were allegedly discovered.
The revelation of alcohol in the vehicle raised questions about the police team’s procedures. However, the mere presence of liquor and glasses in the vehicle does not prove that any police officer consumed alcohol. An official inquiry and the statements of the involved officers are still pending.
Police of Station No. 6 took charge of the front It is reported that the Delhi police team initially did not inform the local police about the operation. Later, the police of Station No. 6 were briefed on the incident. The local police spoke with the Delhi police’s investigating officer (IO) and subsequently provided assistance to the team.
