Gurdaspur Police Killings: CM Mann’s Bombshell Claim Links Murders to Pakistan Plot
Jalandhar, February 25, 2026
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann directly blamed Pakistan for orchestrating the brutal murders of ASI Gurnam Singh and Home Guard Ashok Kumar at Adhian checkpost (1.5km from border), calling it a deep conspiracy to demoralize police.
At Jalandhar PP passing-out parade, Mann: “Not ordinary crime—this Pakistan-sponsored plot aims to create terror within Punjab Police force.” Announced ₹1 crore ex-gratia each. Praised jawans as “unbreakable wall.”
TTH claimed responsibility via posters/video (unverified); Pak gangster Shehzad Bhatti posted execution clip alleging “reply to fake encounters.” Police probe terror/gangster angles, CCTV shows 5 suspects on 2 bikes. No arrests; cross-border links eyed amid drone smuggling zone.
Border security likely tightened as political/security circles buzz over CM’s direct Pak accusation.
