The police officer said Salwinder Singh had been arrested when the others were absconding. A case under Sections 353, 186 and 506 of the IPC has been registered against the accused. The accused allegedly even threatened to kill the SDO. Gurbhej Singh Dhillon, Gurpreet Singh Gangiwind and a number of other leaders of the Powercom Employees Union condemned the attack .

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).
