Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Sub-Inspector Om Prakash, in charge of Bhuna Police Station, raided a suspect’s house. As the team began their search, Jack’s sharp senses and alert movements drew attention to a section of the floor that seemed ordinary at first glance. Moments later, Rambo confirmed the trail, signalling the same spot with precision.
Encouraged by their coordinated response, officers began an intensive search and soon unearthed a concealed underground chamber. Inside lay a chilling find — four illegal firearms, 14 live cartridges, and 20 litres of lahan — raw liquor used in the production of illicit alcohol.
Praising the duo’s exemplary service, Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh called them “real heroes.”
“Jack and Rambo are not just part of the police force but frontline warriors who have strengthened Haryana Police’s zero-tolerance drive against crime,” Singh said.
“Dogs like Jack and Rambo serve as our eyes and nose in the field. Their instincts have helped dismantle criminal networks.”
Officials said the discovery has delivered a significant blow to local criminal groups, besides boosting public faith in the police’s proactive operations.
The Fatehabad canine unit, of which Jack and Rambo are key members, has played a crucial role in several crime detection and public safety drives.
“They are not just part of a single success story but permanent members of the police family, working tirelessly to protect the people,” a police spokesperson added.
The operation stands as a testament to how human vigilance, technological support and animal instinct can combine to deliver remarkable results in the battle against illegal weapons and organised crime.
