The CIA staff of city police have arrested two criminals, identified as Bittu Bhaiya of Bihar, now residing at Faizpura area, and Sukesh Kumar of Faizpura area. The police recovered two .32 bore pistols, seven rounds of ammunition and a bike from their possession.

Bittu had six criminal cases, including that of attempt to murder and vehicle snatching, against him. He was declared proclaimed offender (PO) in a case.

RPS Sandhu, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Investigations), stated that both the accused were of a criminal nature and wanted by the police in four cases of snatching and firing.

The accused were arrested following an intelligence input when they were going on a bike to commit some crime. He said they were produced in court and brought on police remand for further investigations.

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).
