Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir Police, in collaboration with the Punjab Police, have apprehended two Pakistani juveniles who had executed an escape from a detention facility in Jammu.
The duo, identified as Mohammad Sanaullah and Ahsan Anwar, were arrested in Punjab late Tuesday after a massive manhunt that spanned two states.
The Violent Escape
The crisis began on Monday evening at approximately 5:15 PM at the Juvenile Observation Home in RS Pura, a high-security zone near the International Border.
According to official reports, Sanaullah and Anwar, along with a local inmate identified as Karanjit Singh (a member of the notorious 'Khauff Gang'), staged a violent breakout.

The inmates reportedly initiated a mock fight to lure security personnel into their cell. When Head Constable Parveen Kumar and SPO Vinay Kumar intervened, the trio attacked them.
In a chilling escalation, one of the inmates brandished a country-made pistol, the origin of which is now under intense investigation, and opened fire, injuring both officers.

The fugitives then scaled the facility walls and allegedly snatched a motorcycle at gunpoint to facilitate their flight toward the Jammu-Punjab highway.
