Gurdaspur: Posters allegedly released by a group calling itself Tehreek-e-Taliban Hindustan (TTH) surfaced on social media Sunday evening, claiming responsibility for the killing of two police personnel at the Dorangla police post near the India-Pakistan international border in Gurdaspur district.
However, senior Punjab Police officials have rejected the claim, stating that there is no known presence of such an organisation in Punjab or anywhere else in India. Authorities said the viral posters are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation.
The incident pertains to the recovery of two police personnel — Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Gurnam Singh and Home Guard jawan Ashok Kumar — who were found dead with bullet injuries in Adian village of Gurdaspur district.
Local police teams rushed to the spot after receiving information and initiated a detailed probe. The incident has created concern within the department and the border belt region.
Banarsi Das, Station House Officer of Dorangla police station, said the matter is being investigated thoroughly from all angles. When asked about reports suggesting that the two personnel may have shot each other following a dispute, he said it would be premature to comment as the probe is still underway.
Police have collected evidence from the scene, and the bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause and sequence of events. Officials said no theory is being ruled out at this stage.
