ADG Dinesh MN informed that AGTF received intelligence indicating that Poswal was travelling from Behror to Singhana (Jhunjhunu district).

Using technical surveillance tools, the team verified his location and mobilised rapidly.

A joint team comprising AGTF personnel and Constable Rajveer Singh of Shiprapath Police Station reached Singhana Bus Stand, where they conducted a tactical operation and successfully apprehended the accused.

The successful arrest was the result of coordinated efforts under the command of ASP Siddhant Sharma.

Commendable contributions were made by team including Head Constable Jugan Singh, Constable Surendra Kumar and Constable Rajveer Singh.
