Amritsar, May 24

A monetary dispute led to firing at Awan village in Ramdass on Sunday. The police have booked eight persons, but nobody has been arrested so far.

Those booked include Lakhbir Singh, Sarwan Singh of Nurpur Padri village and their six unknown accomplices.

Sukhdev Singh told the police that at around 11 am, the accused barged into his house and asked about whereabouts of his brother Sandeep Singh. He said in the meantime, he came out from his room. He said while shouting, Lakhbir took out a pistol and started firing into the air. Sukhdev said he along with his family rushed inside the house to save themselves. Later, the trio fled away from the spot, said Sukhdev.

The police have registered a case under Section 336, 148 and 149 of the IPC and relevant sections of the Arms Act.

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).
