A police team from Kathua district (J&K) visited Bathinda to investigate an incident in which a law student was injured when a bomb that he was allegedly assembling exploded on September 10.

Gurpreet Singh of Jeeda village in Bathinda was planning to visit Kathua, J&K district that borders Punjab.

The Kathua police also visited the AIIMS, Bathinda, two days ago, where Gurpreet and his father were undergoing treatment. Officials also inspected the site of the explosion and sought details from the Punjab Police regarding the material used in the bomb.

According to police sources, the accused might have planned to visit Kathua after identifying a target. “However, the Punjab Police are in constant touch with us on the issue,” sources added.

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).
