Two individuals suspected of criminal activity, including the ringleader of the ‘Gataru gang’, were detained under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, as per police reports.
Sumit Jandyal, also known as “Gataru”, and his brother Sourav Gupta, both residents of Vijaypur, have been subjected to this administrative law, which permits detention without charge or trial for up to two years in certain cases.
“The brothers are known to be engaged in criminal activities in an organized manner, thus posing a serious threat to public peace and order,” stated a police spokesperson, highlighting that their gang is implicated in various offenses including attempted murder, robbery, breach of peace, extortion, cheating, and land grabbing.
The spokesperson further noted that the duo are notorious criminals with multiple cases registered against them at different Police Stations in Samba and Jammu districts.
“Following their persistent involvement in criminal activities, detention orders were issued by the District Magistrate Samba based on detailed dossiers prepared by SSP Samba. The SHO of Police Station Vijaypur executed the warrants, leading to their incarceration in district Jail Kathua,” the spokesperson added.
