On 3 November 2025, in the Shyam Colony area of Ballabgarh (in Faridabad, Haryana), a 17-year-old Class 12 girl (preparing for the JEE exam) was shot by Jatin Mangla while returning from a library.The girl had apparently been stalked and harassed by Mangla for several months. He allegedly used multiple SIM-cards to contact her; the harassment increased after she repeatedly refused his advances.

The CCTV footage reportedly shows Mangla waiting on a motorcycle, then approaching the girl and firing at point-blank range. One bullet struck her shoulder (after she raised her hand to shield herself); another grazed her abdomen.The police registered an FIR under relevant sections (attempt to murder, illegal arms, stalking/harassment) at the Ballabgarh City police station.

Mangla was arrested on 6 November 2025 from his native village Sarmathla (near Sohna, Gurugram district) after an intensive search by the Crime Branch, spanning multiple states (Haryana, UP, Bihar).During the recovery of a hidden firearm near Kabulpur village, Mangla opened fire on a police team from a pile of stones. Police retaliated and shot him in the leg; he is now hospitalised in stable condition.The police recovered a country-made pistol, four live cartridges and two spent shells at the spot.
