Continuing its sustained crackdown on habitual offenders and anti-social elements, Kishtwar Police has booked two notorious criminals under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act (PSA) for their repeated involvement in burglary and theft cases across various parts of the district.
*SSP Kishtwar Sh.

His actions had become a serious threat to public peace and order.
The second accused, *Rahul Singh Chib S/o Gopal Singh Chib @ Magar Singh R/o Himachal Pradesh, presently residing near TRC Kishtwar,* was also found to be a habitual offender with several FIRs registered against him for burglary and theft. His persistent unlawful activities had created an environment of fear and insecurity among the general public.
