They said that assaulting an ordinary person while claiming to act in the public&#8217;s interest is unjustified and called for an end to such incidents.<\/p>\n<p>Residents also alleged that an armed group of approximately 50 to 55 PCJSS (Santu Group) members has been stationed in the area for the past week. According to the local accounts, the group has been openly carrying weapons and moving through the area without any apparent action by the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Several residents questioned what they described as a lack of enforcement, stating that security forces regularly conduct operations in search of armed militants but have not taken action against the armed PCJSS members despite their alleged public presence. Some residents said this has led to speculation within the community about possible coordination between the military and the group.
