A midnight-like ambush unfolded at Taljhari Mines Tuesday evening, but CISF’s swift resolve crushed the invaders’ plans. At 7:30 PM in Lalmatia’s RS-16, 40-45 cable thieves encircled personnel, armed and ready to strip the site bare.
Quick Reaction Team jawan Pawan Kumar’s decisive aerial shot in self-defense and crowd control triggered instant panic among the horde. They bolted, forsaking their haul and tools in the hasty exit.
Searches revealed a horse, tricycle, hauling ropes, and battle damage to Bolero JH17E7581’s front glass. Relief swept through as all emerged unscathed—no injuries to report from either side.
Patrols by mobile QRT-3 fill the gap left by no static CISF presence, proving pivotal once more. Despite crackdowns, cable syndicates adapt relentlessly. The area now bristles with enhanced vigilance, while detectives hunt the perpetrators.
This thwarted heist reaffirms CISF’s unyielding watch over critical infrastructure, with Pawan Kumar’s bravery etching a new chapter in industrial security lore.
