The district police arrested an accomplice of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria here on Friday.

Five pistols and 20 live cartridges were also seized.

SSP Vivek Sheel Soni said Malkit Singh alias Billa, a resident of Gurdaspur district and currently residing in Kharar, was planning to commit a crime.

The gang is involved in smuggling of weapons and drugs in the state, he said.

The SSP said Malkit was already facing five criminal cases in Amritsar and Gurdaspur. He is also a proclaimed offender in a case registered at Batala.

He will be produced in court and a police remand obtained, he 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).
