Punjab Police has busted two Pakistan-based ISI-backed cross-border terror modules operating in Amritsar and arrested nine persons, including four juveniles, in a major operation aimed at dismantling terror networks in the border state. Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said the operation was carried out by the Amritsar Commissionerate Police, leading to the recovery of three illegal pistols, four petrol bottle bombs and nine live cartridges.

Two Punjab residents chargesheeted in fake MES recruitment fraud case in J&K

Jammu, Aug 4: The Crime Branch of the Jammu and Kashmir Police has filed a chargesheet against two Punjab residents for their alleged involvement in a fake recruitment scam in the Military Engineering Services (MES), an official said on Tuesday. The scam came to light in 2023 after the accused allegedly duped two residents of J-K's Samba district of Rs 14 lakh by promising them jobs in the MES, a Jammu Crime Branch spokesperson said. He said the Special Crime Wing (SCW) of the Crime Branch Jammu filed the chargesheet against the accused -- Bakshish Singh of Amritsar and Amandeep Singh of Jalandhar -- in the court of the Additional Special Mobile Magistrate, Samba on Monday. The case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code was registered in 2023 on the complaint of two residents of Samba who alleged that the accused induced them to pay Rs 14 lakhs on the false promise of securing MES jobs. While Bakshish was arrested from Amritsar after sustained efforts, the co-accused Amandeep remains absconding despite extensive raids and a lookout notice. Proceedings have been initiated for declaring him a proclaimed offender, the spokesman added. He mentioned that the victims were provided forged appointment letters and repeatedly sent to different locations, including Ranchi and Meerut, under the pretext of medical examinations, document verification and joining formalities. Subsequent verification from MES authorities confirmed that the appointment letters were fake and had never been issued by the department, the spokesman said. During the investigation, he said the SCW collected documentary, digital and financial evidence, including bank transaction records and forensic examination of questioned documents, which corroborated the allegations. The crime branch has advised the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent job rackets and to verify the authenticity of recruitment offers through official government channels before making any payment.

Six J&K cricketers named in North Zone squad; Kanhaiya Wadhawan to lead team

Jammu, Aug 3: In what is being hailed as one of the biggest milestones in Jammu and Kashmir cricket, six cricketers from the Union Territory have been selected for the North Zone squad, with wicketkeeper-batter Kanhaiya Wadhawan being named captain. The development marks a watershed moment for J&K cricket, which until a few seasons ago celebrated the selection of just one or two players in the prestigious inter-zonal team. This time, however, J&K has emerged as the joint-highest contributor alongside Delhi, underlining the Union Territory's rapid rise in domestic cricket. According to highly placed sources, the six J&K players selected are Kanhaiya Wadhawan (captain), Qamran Iqbal, Abdul Samad, Abid Mushtaq, Sunil Kumar and Yudhvir Singh. The 15-member squad also includes Sanat Sangwan, Yash Dhull, Ayush Doseja and vice-captain Ayush Badoni from Delhi; Nishant Sindhu, Anshul Kamboj and Nikhil Kashyap from Haryana; Arshdeep Singh from Punjab; and Arjun Sharma from Services. Wadhawan's appointment as captain makes the achievement even more significant, reflecting the confidence of the North Zone selectors in the J&K wicketkeeper-batter's leadership abilities and consistent performances. J&K's unprecedented representation is widely seen as a testament to the Union Territory's growing stature in Indian domestic cricket after a string of impressive performances over the past few seasons. The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) has evolved from being an occasional contributor to one of the strongest talent pools in the North Zone. With six players in the squad and the captaincy entrusted to a J&K cricketer, the announcement marks one of the most significant moments in the history of J&K cricket. Adding to the achievement, J&K senior team coach Ajay Sharma has also been appointed head coach of the North Zone team.
