Kamal Singh Jamwal had been hatching a murder plot for the past two decades. On Wednesday night, he attempted to carry out his nefarious plot. The confession made by the attacker who shot National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah to the police is chilling.
Farooq had arrived at a wedding ceremony at Royal Park in Greater Kailash, Jammu. The accused, Kamal Singh Jamwal, was also present. He seized the opportunity and attempted to carry out the crime, narrowly escaping.
After Farooq was apprehended by security guards, the accused, Kamal Singh Jamwal, displayed no remorse during his initial interrogation. He stated that he had wanted to kill Dr. Farooq Abdullah for the past 20 years due to personal reasons. He also stated that killing Farooq was his own motive.
He explained that it was his cousin Shatrujit Singh's son's wedding, and he himself was invited. He had the opportunity to kill Farooq today, but his attempt failed. He stated that he doesn't work; he owns two clothing stores and receives rent from them. He manages his expenses.
The accused has also contested the councilor election in Jammu.
The accused, Kamal Singh Jamwal, son of Ajit Singh Jamwal, is a resident of Purani Mandi. He has been active in politics since his childhood. He previously belonged to the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party. He contested the councilor election from Ward No. 11 in Purani Mandi on the party's ticket.
People said they were unaware of the fireworks and DJ music.
People attending the wedding said they were initially unaware of the fireworks and DJ music. The hustle and bustle of the ceremony brought everyone to their senses. Amidst the noise of the fireworks and music, panic gripped the crowds for a while. The music and firecrackers ceased. Meanwhile, the police arrived, asked everyone to remain patient, and began their investigation.
It's God's grace...everyone is safe.
Chief Minister's advisor Nasir Aslam Wani, who arrived at the scene, said, "It's God's grace, everyone is safe. Thanks to everyone's prayers, Dr. Farooq Abdullah is absolutely fine and will speak on Thursday."
All the leaders had come to the wedding of the daughter of a member of the party's legal cell.
All the leaders, including Dr. Farooq Abdullah, had come to the wedding of the daughter of a member of the party's legal cell. They stayed there for about an hour. As they were returning, Kamal Singh Jamwal came from behind and pointed a pistol at Dr. Farooq Abdullah. Security personnel, acting alert, pushed him down, causing the bullet to go into the air. Kamal Singh was then apprehended and handed over to the police.
The venue was empty of guests.
After the incident, the venue was empty of guests. The wedding ceremony proceeded with only family members present. Most of the guests left. Only family members remained at the scene, and the ceremony concluded peacefully.
There should be an investigation: Satish.
Cabinet Minister Satish Sharma was live on social media late last night. He said that the incident should be investigated. The perpetrators and the motive behind the attack should be ascertained.
Law and order should not be taken into one's own hands.
Former Legislative Council member Vikramaditya Singh said that the security lapse in the attack on Farooq should be investigated. Taking the law into one's own hands is unacceptable.
Attempt to kill Dr. Farooq by firing on him, narrowly escapes.
An attempt was made to kill National Conference National President and former Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah by firing a pistol at his temple at around 10:30 pm on Wednesday night. Dr. Farooq narrowly escaped. If the NSG commandos had been even a few seconds late, anything could have happened. The attack occurred when he was returning with Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Chaudhary after attending a wedding ceremony at Royal Park in Greater Kailash, Jammu. The attacker, Kamal Singh Jamwal, a resident of Purani Mandi, Jammu, was apprehended on the spot.
Dr. Farooq Abdullah, along with Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Chaudhary and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's advisor, Nasir Aslam Wani, had gone to attend a wedding ceremony at Royal Park in Greater Kailash. After attending the ceremony, the two leaders were exiting and heading towards their vehicles. Amidst tight security, the attacker approached Dr. Farooq very close and drew his licensed pistol.
He was about to fire a shot at Dr. Farooq's temple when an NSG commando pushed him, causing him to stumble and miss his target. The sudden firing caused panic at the wedding ceremony. Security personnel apprehended the attacker and handed him over to the police. The police have registered an FIR under several serious charges, including attempt to murder. The NC and other political parties have reacted strongly to the incident.
