Gangyal Shooting Triggers Investigation and Arrests
Jammu's quiet was shattered when a shooting at Gangyal Chowk left two men hurt. One was Paramjeet Singh, a name familiar to police officers thanks to his recent stint behind bars. In the days after gunshots rang out, the police moved fast, arresting four suspects: Surinder Singh, Harjot Singh—who's also called 'Anda'—Raman Kumar, and Mohd Ashraf.
The crime seemed more than a random act. Officers say this group was pulled together by a criminal conspiracy, pointing to careful planning behind the chaos on the street. The arrests sparked drama of their own. Three of the four suspects faced a furious crowd when caught. Video from the scene shows them being beaten by bystanders, a sign of just how heated public opinion has become when it comes to open crime.
Crime Rings, Police Response, and the Bigger Picture
This case isn’t just about one shooting. The suspects, according to police, are tangled up in bigger organized crime networks around Jammu. Their names already appeared in old investigations. That’s why the case, registered as FIR No. 68/2025 at Gangyal Police Station, uses some serious law: criminal conspiracy under sections 109, 111, and 191(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), plus the 3/25 Arms Act for illegal weapons possession.
The crackdown was no solo act. Senior Superintendent of Police Jammu, Joginder Singh, led the operation, with careful coordination by SP City South Ajay Sharma and SDPO South Sunil Singh Jasrotia. Officers say their main goal now is to get the full picture: Who else is behind this attack? What other crimes have these networks planned? The focus stretches well beyond the four in custody. Police say more suspects could be picked up in the coming days.
Local residents, shaken by both the attack and the public beatings, are watching closely. Trust in the police is at stake. People want their streets safe—and criminals off them. For now, Jammu Police call these arrests a significant breakthrough, hoping it signals the start of ending the influence of organized gangs in the region.
