Srinagar, Oct 25: Demonstrating swift response, professional policing and effective investigation, Police in Baramulla have solved a fatal road accident case within just three hours of its reporting, with Police Station Sheeri apprehending the accused driver and seizing the vehicle involved in the incident.
The accident occurred on the Malpora–Heewan Road, where a 45-year-old woman, identified as Gulshan wife of Mohd. Ramzan, resident of Malpora, was reportedly hit by a vehicle.
She was subsequently shifted to PHC Sheeri by two persons travelling in an LP Bus 407 bearing registration number JK05-7249. She later succumbed to her injuries and was declared dead at the PHC.
Upon receiving information about the incident, Police Station Sheeri promptly initiated an investigation to ascertain the circumstances leading to the woman’s death and identify the vehicle involved.

Acting with remarkable promptness, the police team apprehended the accused and seized the vehicle within three hours of the incident being reported, marking a significant breakthrough in the investigation.
