Amritsar, June 26

The Bhindisaida police have arrested Jugraj Singh of Kariyal village for allegedly possessing a country-made 9mm pistol along with three rounds and 50-gm heroin.

He was intercepted at a checkpoint when he was coming from Kariyal village on a bike. Investigating Officer SI Tarlok Singh said as the police signalled him to stop, he tried to escape the spot but was held. An illegal weapon and contraband was seized from his possession.

During preliminary probe, the accused admitted that he brought the weapon from Madhya Pradesh. He was produced in a court and brought on two-day police remand for further interrogation. The police said the motive of procuring weapon would be ascertained during investigations while the source of contraband was also to be investigated.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
