Details of the Incident
According to a complaint filed by ASI Jaswinder Pal, the magistrate's gunman, the judge left Ludhiana on station leave on June 27. The following day, after receiving a call from the magistrate, Jaswinder Pal visited the residence in BRS Nagar's C-Block and found the house ransacked. He immediately reported the matter to the Sarabha Nagar police station.
Stolen Items and Investigation

"We are examining CCTV footage from the area and hope to identify and arrest the accused soon," the SHO said. The police have launched an investigation and are reviewing footage from nearby cameras.
Broader Implications for Law and Order
