Chandigarh, November 11

The UT police have arrested a proclaimed offender (PO), who was on the run for seven years.

The PO, Amit Sareen (43), a resident of Jalandhar, was nabbed by a team of the operations cell. The police said a case under Sections 406 and 498-A of the IPC was registered against Sareen at the Sector 11 police station in May 2012.

He was declared a PO by the court in October 2013.

Sareen had applied for anticipatory bail four times, which was rejected by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The police got information that Sareen was in Jalandhar following which he was nabbed on November 10. — TNS

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).
