A suspect named Karan, currently under investigation for the shooting of Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Jaswant Singh, has escaped from police custody. The incident took place on Wednesday night in the Punjab region. According to official police statements, officers were transporting the suspect to the Majitha area as part of an ongoing investigation to recover the firearm allegedly used in the attack on ASI Singh, which occurred earlier this month in the Rajasansi area of Amritsar.

While the police have confirmed the escape occurred during this recovery operation, details regarding the specific security measures in place or how the suspect managed to evade multiple officers remain limited. The escape represents a significant setback for local law enforcement, who are now tasked with recapturing a suspect accused of a violent crime against a police officer. Authorities have initiated a search operation to locate the individual, though no further details regarding his current whereabouts or the status of the weapon recovery have been released at this time.
