Chandigarh, July 4

Another member of the “Irani” gang that targeted senior citizens and robbed them of their jewellery by posing as policemen has been arrested by the city police.

The accused was identified as Ali Zama Zahoor Jafri (38) of Thane. A gold kara and a ring were recovered from him. The accused was arrested from Maharashtra on July 2 and was brought to the city on transit remand. He was produced in a local court today, which sent him to seven-day police remand.

The police had earlier nabbed the kingpin of the gang Sultan Khan of Irani Colony, Sendhwa, Madhya Pradesh.

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).
