Report -Alok Semwal
It’s been over 36 hours since Vikram Sharma was shot dead in broad daylight on Dehradun’s streets, but the gunmen are still at large. Despite a massive dragnet and heavy police presence across the region, investigators have little to show for their efforts.
The Trail Goes Cold – Where Did They Go?
Sources indicate the suspects made a quick getaway toward Haridwar right after pulling the trigger. There’s growing concern they’ve already slipped across state lines. Anticipating this, authorities have tightened checkpoints along border zones and alerted police departments in adjacent states to watch for any suspicious movement.
A Search That Spans States
Inside Uttarakhand, police teams are hitting one location after another in Dehradun and Haridwar, checking every potential safe house. But the operation has stretched well beyond state boundaries—teams are now active in Delhi and have pushed as far as Jamshedpur in Jharkhand. Multiple sites are being raided simultaneously in hopes of closing in on the fugitives.
Banking on Technology to Break the Case
With conventional methods yielding little, investigators have turned to digital forensics. They’re tracking cell tower pings from suspects’ phones, analyzing CCTV recordings frame by frame, and piecing together electronic breadcrumbs. No clue is too small—every thread is being pulled to see where it leads.
New SSP Promises a Breakthrough
Dehradun’s freshly appointed SSP, Pramendra Singh Dobhal, insists the investigation is gaining traction. He claims police have locked onto some crucial intelligence and asserts that arrests are imminent. According to him, it’s only a matter of time before the case is blown wide open.
