The early morning calm of March 22, 2024, was disrupted when a band of thieves struck Iqbal Market, targeting five shops and leaving behind a scene of chaos and broken locks.

 

 

The swift action by the police, led by DO Bazar Azhar Shakeel and the Station House Officer of Kupwara, was a direct response to the distress calls from the local shop owners. Despite the cover of night, the police force's vigilance and dedication ensured that the burglars' plans were largely unsuccessful. While a small amount of 5000 INR was stolen from one shop, the prompt intervention prevented further losses.

 

 

The successful operation was a result of the relentless pursuit of leads by the Kupwara Police, who worked tirelessly to track down the perpetrators. Their efforts culminated in the rapid apprehension of the culprits.

 

 

The people of Kupwara and the Market Association have expressed their profound gratitude for the exemplary service provided by the police force.
