Amritsar, May 24

An alleged gangster Jarnail Singh was shot dead by four armed persons in broad daylight in Sathiala village in Amritsar on Wednesday.

He was currently out on bail. He reportedly belonged to Gopi Ghanshampuria gang.

Senior police officials, including SSP Amritsar rural Satinder Singh rushed to the spot. After initial investigations, the police said that it appeared to be a case of gang rivalry.

The body was taken into custody and sent to autopsy.

Around 24 rounds of fire were shot leading to his death on the spot.

Police said they were scanning the CCTV camera in the area to find clues about the perpetrators.

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).
