Two armed men, accomplices of gangsters lodged in jail, fired at the house of a resident of Chaudhriwala (Naushehra Pannuan) village on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.

The victim Jagjit Singh, in his statement to the Sarhali police, said that two armed men fired at his residence. After some time, he received a recorded call on his mobile the same night.

The caller who introduced himself as gangster Mohpreet Singh alias Moh, a resident of Thathian Mahantan, was lodged in jail. He said that he along with another gangster Gurpreet Singh Gopi Nambardar were the mastermind behind the firing at his residence at night.

Moh demanded Rs 50 lakh as extortion money and threatened that one member of his family would be killed soon in case he refused to oblige them. A case has been registered.

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).
