Chandigarh, November 22

A member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been arrested by the Operation Cell of UT police with 123 gm heroin.

Suspect Amandeep Joshi, alias Rajbir Joshi, a resident of Balongi village in Mohali, was nabbed with the contraband near Dadu Majra village. A case has been registered at the Maloya police station.

The police said Joshi, a proclaimed offender (PO), was in touch with the Bishnoi gang members lodged in various jails. His interrogation revealed he also used to provide food and clothing to the gang members currently in police custody. The police said the suspect had a criminal past and was previously involved in three cases. He was declared a PO by a Kharar court in one of the cases.

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).
