SUV Evades Security Checkpoint in Ramban, One Arrested Amid Search OperationPreviousNext

Early Friday, a suspicious SUV evaded a security checkpoint at Chanderkote on the Jammu-Srinagar highway in Ramban district, prompting police to fire three warning shots. The vehicle, a Scorpio, was abandoned near Dalwas after the driver and occupants fled. A massive search involving police, CRPF, and the Army was launched, resulting in one arrest while two others remain at large. Authorities are investigating the motive, with officials ruling out terror links and suggesting possible involvement in bovine smuggling.
