Amritsar, June 20

Two alleged Khalistani operatives, who were arrested on Friday, were produced before a local court today. They were sent to 10-day police remand. The accused were identified as Gurmeet Singh and Vikram Singh.

The police had claimed that the duo was preparing to carry out a series of terror attacks and targeted killings at the behest of their Pakistan-based handlers. Probe revealed that Gurmeet came in contact with his handlers through social media. He even visited Pakistan with a religious jatha in 2017.

The police were trying to identify those who had dumped weapons in fields near Gurdaspuria Dhaba on the GT Road. As the duo was trying to retrieve the weapons, some persons informed the police. — TNS

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).
