The Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) nabbed the owner of a local restaurant here today. The arrested accused has been identified as Aman Chorasia, a resident of Bohar Wala Siwala, Gokal Vihar, Batala. The police recovered a hookah, hookah flavours and tobacco. Inspector Rajesh Sharma of the CIA staff stated that a team led by Sub-inspector Rajmahinder Singh was present during patrolling duty at Novelty Chowk, Lawrence Road, Amritsar. They received information that a local restaurant, Love-and-Bite 2.0 was serving hookah to its customers.

On the basis of a tip-off, the police team raided the restaurant, nabbed the owner and seized hookah, hookah flavours and tobacco. A case under the COTPA Act has been registered at the Civil Lines police station in this regard.

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).
