Bathinda, March 31

A group of armed men fired shots into the air during a kabaddi tournament at Kotha Guru village here last evening. While no casualty was reported, spectators ran for cover.

The police arrested two suspects from the spot. A case has been registered at the Bhagta Bhai Ka police station against four persons. Sources said the suspects approached the ground while a match was on and fired at least three shots into the air.

Some locals caught hold of the two suspects and thrashed them, before handing them over to the police. Some spectators were also injured and were taken to the hospital. —

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).
