Amritsar, October 20

The Amritsar rural police have booked an Armyman for leaking sensitive information to Pakistan’s intelligence agencies. The suspect has been identified as Manoj Chaudhry of Uttar Pradesh. He was yet to be arrested.

SI Karampal Singh, investigating officer, said they were patrolling in the Khasa area when an informer told them about the suspect. Cops were told that the suspect was leaking secret information regarding the security and location of Army posts with Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). It was alleged that he transferred pictures and maps of sensitive locations thereby jeopardising the national security.

Karampal said a case under Sections 3, 4, 5, 9 of the Official Secrets Act was registered against him and further investigations were under progress to nab the suspect.

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).
