The city police arrested an accused from the local grain market last night and recovered three illegal country-made pistols and three live cartridges.

Another accomplice of the arrested accused managed to escape from the spot in the cover of darkness. ASI Surjit Singh said that the police raided the spot on getting the information and arrested an accused who was later identified as Varun Sabharwal, a resident of Suraj Enclave, Rajiv Gandhi Vihar, Jalandhar.

The accused who absconded has been identified as Karan of Tarn Taran. The police have registered a case under Section 25 (6), 54, 59 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).
