Amritsar, October 21

The CIA staff nabbed a youth after confiscating country-made weapons from his possession here on Thursday. The accused was identified as Jatin Kumar, a resident of Valmiki Mohalla, Hathigate area.

Amolakdeep Singh, in-charge, CIA staff, said Jatin was arrested from near the Durgiana temple cremation ground yesterday. He was produced in a court, which sent him to police custody for further interrogation. During questioning, the police recovered another country-made pistol along with five bullets from him. He had just entered the world of crime and earlier no case was registered against him, said Amolakdeep.

A case under the Arms Act was registered against him. He said investigation was in progress to ascertain the source and motive behind procuring the weapons.

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).
