GANDERBAL: Police in Ganderbal has taken preventive action against an individual found to be repeatedly making false emergency calls, thereby misusing the ERSS-112 helpline and wasting valuable police resources.

Police Post Shadipora received information through ERSS-112 via PCR Ganderbal that a caller Parvaiz Ahmad, reported that his wife had been assaulted and requested immediate police intervention. Acting promptly, the police post contacted the complainant and rushed a police party to the location provided. However, upon arrival, it was found that the caller had switched off his mobile phone. Subsequent verification revealed that the complaint was false and misleading.

Further enquiry brought to light that the caller, Parvaiz Ahmad Saeed son of Gh Ahmad Saeed resident of Narayanbagh, is a habitual offender who has repeatedly made fake distress calls, including three false complaints during January 2026 through ERSS-112. His actions were found to be deliberate, aimed at creating unnecessary panic and diverting police attention from genuine emergencies.

Based on the statements of his wife and other family members, and in view of his repeated misuse of emergency services, the individual has been detained by Police Post Shadipora under preventive provisions of law to safeguard the sanctity and importance of the ERSS-112 emergency response system.

Police reiterates that ERSS-112 is meant strictly for genuine emergencies. Misuse of this vital service not only leads to legal consequences but also hampers timely assistance to those in real distress. Citizens are urged to act responsibly and cooperate with law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety.
