Two criminals, wanted in a recent firing incident, were arrested after a 17-day long hunt here, police on Tuesday said.
Six people have been arrested so far in this case, they said.
Harneet Singh alias “Honey” and Ramandeep Singh alias “Dutta”, both residents of Digiana, were the main accused in the firing incident in Gangyal area of Jammu on June 6, resulting in injuries in the right arm of Paramjeet Singh of Seora village.
