On Monday evening, a significant security breach occurred at the juvenile home located in the RS Pura sector of Jammu district, where three juvenile inmates, including two Pakistani nationals, managed to escape. The incident took place around 5:05 PM when the inmates allegedly assaulted the police officers stationed at the facility, resulting in injuries to two officers. The police were carrying out their guard duties at the time of the attack, which has raised concerns regarding security protocols in juvenile detention facilities.

CCTV footage released after the incident shows the juvenile inmates firing a weapon while attempting to flee, though it remains unclear how they obtained the firearm or whether it belonged to the security personnel. Following this alarming event, the Jammu and Kashmir police have requested detailed information about all Pakistani juvenile inmates currently held in various juvenile homes across the region, indicating a serious concern over the security and management of such facilities.

The incident not only highlights the vulnerabilities within the juvenile justice system in Jammu but also raises implications for cross-border relations, particularly considering the nationality of the escaped inmates. The police are likely to review security measures and operational protocols at juvenile homes to prevent any future occurrences and ensure the safety of both staff and other inmates within the facilities.
