The Patti police have arrested a commission agent, Sewa Singh, for opening fire on Nishan Singh, who had taken 11 acres of the land of former on a lease.

After Nishan, a resident of Ubboke village in Patti, harvested the wheat, Sewa made dry fodder (toori) from the entire straw without taking the former into confidence.

On June 17, Sewa called Nishan to his house to settle the issue but they entered into an argument. Later, Sewa and his aides went to Nishan’s house and opened fire on him.

A case has been registered against the accused under Sections 109, 333, 305 (2) 115 (2) of the BNS and Sections 25, 27, 54, 59 of the Arms Act.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
