The police arrested a wanted criminal carrying a reward of Rs 5,000 in connection with multiple cases of arms trafficking and other offences.

ACP (Crime) Arvind Kamboj said a team headed by Sub-Inspector Pritam, with ASI Dhaniram and other members, apprehended the accused from Lakkar Mandi, Yamunanagar.

The accused has been identified as Farman, 27, a resident of Purana Hamida, Yamunanagar. He faces charges under sections 182, 211, 120-B, and 201 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as well as the Arms Act at Raipur Rani Police Station.

Besides, he has five prior cases under the Arms Act and has been booked for harbouring a murder accused in both Panchkula and Yamunanagar. Farman has been remanded to four days’ police custody for interrogation. Police are questioning him to gather further details about his associates.

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).
