Amritsar, April 26

The kingpin of a vehicle theft gang has been arrested in connection with a nine-month-old carjacking case, the city police said today. A motorcycle was recovered from accused identified as Nihal Singh of Thatharke village in Dera Baba Nanak.

The police said two of his accomplices – Anmol Singh alias Maula and Amrit Singh of same village – have already been arrested in December.

Prabhjot Singh Virk, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, said Nihal Singh and two of his accomplices had looted a car of hardware trader Nitin Gupta from Mahal village in July 2023.

Virk said Nihal Singh had four criminal cases of murder, attempt to murder and robbery against him.

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).
