The police have arrested Lovepreet Singh, alias Love, a resident of Khilchian, and recovered two illegal weapons from his possession following a tip-off.

Bikramjit Singh, Station House Officer (SHO), Khilchian police station, said he had two cases of vehicle lifting registered against him. A new case under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act was registered against him for possessing country-made weapons. He was currently on two-day police remand and further investigation was under progress.

The SHO said the suspect had procured two weapons of .315 bore calibre and four rounds from Rajasthan. The SHO said as per preliminary probe, the suspect used to work in a Rajasthan refinery.

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).
