Amritsar, March 27

Amritsar rural police have arrested an associate of Amritpal Singh.

He was identified as Varinder Singh alias Fauji of Tarn Taran.

The police have invoked the NSA against him and sent him to Dibrugarh jail in Assam.

An official wishing not to be named confirmed the development.

Fauji, a retired army constable, was the bodyguard of Amritpal. He had his arms licence issued from Jammu and Kashmir which was cancelled following the Ajnala clash on February 23.

He was among the 10 gunmen who accompanied Amritpal all the time.

Amritpal and his armed supporters had stormed into the Ajnala police station to get their supporter Lovepreet Toofan released from Amritsar central jail.

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).
