An associate of Canada-based terrorist Lakhbir Singh Landa was arrested in connection with the Mohali RPG attack case, police said on Friday.

A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) was fired at the Punjab Police’s intelligence headquarters in Mohali in May last year.

Punjab Director-General of Police Gaurav Yadav said Landa’s associate Gurpinder alias Pindu was allegedly involved in the attack.

“In a major breakthrough #PunjabPolice has apprehended Gurpinder @ Pindu, involved in #RPG attack at Intel HQs #Mohali, #Punjab,” Yadav said in a tweet.

“He is a key operative and associate of #Canada-based #BKI terrorist Lakhbir Singh @Landa,” the DGP said.

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).
