Chandigarh, December 9

The police today arrested a Khuda Lahora resident, Rajan (36), in arms case after a country-made pistol and two cartridges were recovered from his possession.

The police said they had received a tip-off that a person having illegal weapon was roaming in the area in a car and would go to Khuda Lahora from Mullanpur.

Acting on the tip-off, a naka was laid in front of the Botanical Garden in Sarangpur at 3.30 pm. The suspect’s car was stopped and after the recovery of the weapon, a case under the Arms Act was registered against him at the Sarangpur police station.

Rajan reportedly told the police that he had procured the weapon from an Amritsar-based person. Further probe in the case was underway, the police said. The suspect was produced in a court, which sent him to one-day remand.

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).
