Amritsar, August 21

Acting on a tip-off , the CIA staff of the Amritsar (Rural) police arrested two persons and recovered a Glock pistol, smuggled from Pakistan, from their possession on Wednesday. Those arrested were identified as Hardev Singh and Robin Singh, both residents of Attari, a border village.

Confirming their arrest, Harinder Singh Gill, Superintendent of Police (SP), Investigation, said an FIR under the Arms Act was registered against the duo and a preliminary probe initiated in this connection. He said, “The pistol has apparently been smuggled from Pakistan. Links of the arrested suspects with Pakistan based anti-national entities are being ascertained.”

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).
