Jammu, Feb 17: In a major breakthrough, STF Ambala and STF Haryana have arrested two Pakistani nationals who had escaped from a Juvenile Home in the R.S. Pura area of Jammu and Kashmir.
The accused, Mohammad Sunaullah and Ahsan Anwar, escaped from the R.S. Pura Juvenile Home on February 16 at around 5:15 PM. Before escaping, they allegedly attacked two on-duty police personnel, who were later admitted to Government Medical College Jammu. Their condition is reported to be stable.
