Jammu police launches proclamation proceedings against PSA absconder

Jammu Police has started proceedings under Section 82 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) against a proclaimed offender (PO) named Mukesh Kumar alias Gesha, who has been evading arrest for a long time.

Kumar, a resident of Akhnoor and a history sheeter at the Akhnoor Police Station, is wanted based on a warrant issued by the District Magistrate (DM), Jammu. To ensure his presence for arrest, Akhnoor Police initiated proclamation proceedings as mandated under Sections 12(a) & (b) of the Public Safety Act (PSA) 1978.

Following a review of all records, DM Jammu issued a proclamation notice directing Kumar to surrender to the authorities within 30 days. Failure to comply will result in legal action being taken against him.

A joint team of police and revenue officials led by the SDPO Akhnoor and Tehsildar Akhnoor served the notice on Kumar’s family members and posted it in prominent locations throughout Akhnoor.

Kumar is known to be a habitual offender and has been evading arrest for a considerable period. This action by the Jammu Police aims to secure his presence and serve as a deterrent to other criminal elements.
