Gangster Jassal Chambal has served a threat to Gursewak Singh Aulakh, a senior leader of the ruling AAP and sought a ransom of Rs 50 lakh.

Gursewak Singh Aulakh, in his complaint to the local city police, said the gangster had been contacting him on his WhatsApp number but he was avoiding the caller, being a suspected person. He said the gangster sent him a WhatsApp message demanding Rs 50 lakh and threatened that he was aware of his son’s movement.

He threatened that in case his demand was not met, he would be harmed. He said the gangster served him threats twice on November 22 and 25. In his message, the gangster said that the state government was contemplating serious action against him and he was in need of money. ASI Inderjit Singh of the city police said a case has been filed.

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).
