Acting on a tip-off, the B-Division police busted a flesh trade racket being operated from Hotel BR located in Kahiyaan Wala Bazaar here yesterday. The police arrested the hotel manager, identified as Suraj Kumar, a resident of Adda Bhikhiwind, Mandir Wala Bazaar, Tarn Taran, and rescued four women from the premises.

According to police officials, Suraj Kumar was allegedly running the racket from the hotel. A case under sections 3, 5 and 9 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, has been registered at the B-Division police station here.

Investigation into the case has been initiated and the accused has been produced before the court to obtain police remand for questioning, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Gagandeep Singh.

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).
