The Chabal police have arrested two operatives of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria for taking extortion from a resident of Lalu Ghuman here.

The police said here on Saturday that the accused have been identified as Khushpreet Singh Khush of Malakpur and Akashdeep Singh Akash of Bhaika in Gurdaspur district.

ASI Kanwaljit Singh, investigating officer, said victim Dharminder Singh of Lalu Ghuman, working as a medical practitioner, in his complaint to the police stated that he has been receiving mobile messages and threat calls for the last few days seeking an extortion of Rs 50 lakh from the two men who claimed to be operatives of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria.

ASI Kanwaljit Singh said the operatives were produced in a court, which sent them to police custody for six days.

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).
