A man accused of attacking the Ajnala police station in 2023 remains wanted by authorities, while four others were recently detained at the Nepal border in Uttar Pradesh.
Police in Punjab are still searching for a suspect involved in the 2023 attack on the Ajnala police station. The incident, which left several officers injured, led to a nationwide manhunt that has yet to yield a capture. Authorities have intensified surveillance in the region and have issued a public appeal for information.
The suspect is believed to have fled across state borders, prompting coordination between Punjab and neighboring states. Law enforcement agencies have set up checkpoints and increased patrols in key transit routes.
Meanwhile, four individuals were arrested at the Nepal border in Uttar Pradesh for unrelated offenses, according to a separate report. The arrests are unrelated to the Ajnala case and are being processed under different charges.
