Jammu (Rural) Police have successfully solved a fabricated robbery case reported at Police Station Kanachak within 24 hours of its registration.
On 11 March 2026, one Ankush Sharma, son of Pritam Sharma, resident of Badgal, Tehsil Akhnoor, approached Police Station Kanachak and lodged a complaint stating that while he was travelling with his wife and relatives from Anand Nagar towards Bawe Talab via Ring Road, an unknown person riding a motorcycle intercepted their vehicle near Channu Chak.
The complainant alleged that the accused, armed with a pistol, restrained them and robbed a silver bracelet, gold earrings belonging to his wife and other female passengers, along with a gold mangalsutra, before fleeing from the spot.
Based on the complaint, FIR No. 37/2026 under Section 307 BNS was registered at Police Station Kanachak and an investigation was initiated.
During the course of investigation, the police team conducted sustained questioning and technical analysis of the facts. The investigation revealed that the complaint lodged by Ankush Sharma was false and fabricated. It was found that the complainant himself, in conspiracy with one of his accomplices, had staged the robbery and taken the ornaments from his co-passengers.
Acting swiftly, the police recovered the allegedly robbed ornaments from the possession of Ankush Sharma, thereby exposing the entire conspiracy.
The accused has been taken into custody. His accomplice involved in the crime is currently absconding, and police teams are making continuous efforts to apprehend him at the earliest.
With this breakthrough, Rural Police Jammu have successfully solved the case within 24 hours, demonstrating prompt investigation and professional policing.
Further investigation into the case is underway. Reportedly, the accused had also taken money from several individuals.
It is pertinent to mention that the complainant/accused had immediately approached certain digital media platforms for coverage regarding the alleged incident. Media personnel are advised to verify facts from the concerned police station before publishing such reports, as unverified information can also affect the credibility of media platforms.
