The Fatehgarh Sahib police on Thursday registered a case in connection with a hoax bomb threat received at the district courts complex here. The police are yet to identify the accused.

Superintendent of Police (Detective) Rakesh Yadav said judicial officers at the courts complex had received an email claiming the planting of a bomb on the premises. He said the police immediately came into action and a heavy force was deployed on the spot.

He said the premises was evacuated while people were stopped from entering it as the searches continued.

The SP said no explosive or suspicious object was found in the complex. He appealed to people not to pay attention to rumors and maintain peace.

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).
