The Threat of Terror or a Bloody Game of the 'Syndicate': What Lies Behind the Murder of 2 Jawans in Punjab?

The suspicious deaths of two police personnel in Punjab near the India-Pakistan border have raised alarms among security agencies in India.

The deaths of two police personnel near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab's Gurdaspur district have sparked significant concern among local security agencies. Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Gurman Singh and Home Guard Ashok Kumar were discovered dead under mysterious circumstances, with both showing gunshot wounds to the head. The incident occurred in a village just 2 kilometers from the international border, raising questions about potential security breaches and the involvement of terrorist groups in the area.

According to local police, the two deceased were assigned as part of the 'Second Line of Defense' near the border. Concerns escalated when both officers failed to respond to phone calls until a police team arrived at their location. The crime scene revealed a shocking scenario: ASI Gurman Singh was found slumped in a chair with his hands tucked into his pockets, while Home Guard Ashok Kumar lay lifeless on a nearby bench. Intriguingly, their service weapons and mobile phones were recovered unscathed, which raises further questions about how the incident unfolded and the motivations behind it.

Following the incident, social media platforms saw a surge in posts and videos allegedly linked to a group named 'Tahrik-e-Taliban Hindustan' (TTH), which claimed responsibility for the murders. Police sources, however, have been skeptical of these claims, suggesting that the group's connection to the crime might be an attempt to incite fear and unrest. The involvement of terrorism, local crime syndicates, or a different agenda keeps the authorities on high alert as they conduct further investigations into the deaths of these two officers, stressing the need for heightened security measures in the region.
