Accused in Punjab Police ASI Shooting Escapes Custody During Weapon Recovery
A man named Karan, arrested for allegedly shooting Punjab Police ASI Jaswant Singh on September 11 in Amritsar's Rajasansi area, escaped police custody during a weapon recovery operation in Majitha. The escape prompted a manhunt and the suspension of Rajasansi police station SHO Gurpreet Singh for alleged negligence. ASI Singh sustained minor injuries when shot at by two motorcycle-borne assailants. Police continue raids to apprehend Karan and investigate the incident, which may be linked to an old rivalry.
