Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 06:
Panic gripped the winter capital city after a jail cop alerted police that he had noticed the movement of two suspected armed militants at Janipura.
Manjit Singh, a jail cop who lives at Upper Paloura near Janipura, spotted two suspected militants with long beards moving towards Gujjar Colony, Janipura, at about 5.30 am. They were said to be in police uniform and carried rucksacks. While watching their activities from some distance, Manjit called up a senior police officer and informed him of the suspicious movement, police sources said.
Soon thereafter, police teams of special operation group and para-military troops, led by SP city, Randhir Singh, and SDPO West, Shiv Dev Chavan, reached the spot and laid a cordon around the locality. Reinforcements were rushed later and searches were started simultaneously in Janipura and the adjoining Paloura and Muthi areas.
The heavy presence of police and searches, however, compelled morning walkers to stay indoors. The searches continued till 2.30 pm. During this time, all the police checking points in the city were put on high alert. Apart from the checking of vehicles coming towards Janipura or leaving Janipura, cops were also seen frisking pedestrians too.
However, the searches were later called off with police saying there was no reason to panic as no militant was found anywhere in the city.
