Jammu, Feb 17: Two Pakistani nationals who escaped from a juvenile home in a border village of Jammu district were arrested within 24 hours of the incident, officials said on Tuesday.
However, a local gangster who fled along with them remains at large, and efforts are underway to secure his arrest.
