Tarn Taran, May 1

An undertrial escaped the custody of the Sri Goindwal Sahib police here on Saturday. The accused had been identified as Jashandeep Singh, a resident of Khakh village, who was arrested by the Goindwal Sahib police on April 25 in a theft case. He was brought to be produced in the court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM), Khadoor Sahib, on Saturday.

Sub-Inspector Lakhbir Singh said the accused asked them to allow him to answer the call of nature and constable Inderjit Singh accompanied him to the toilet. On way to the toilet, he hit the constable and fled the spot. The undertrial, arrested in a theft case, had been booked under Section 224 of the Indian Penal Code.

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).
