The Special Cell of the Delhi Police has arrested two sharpshooters of the Kala Jathedi gang in the Chhawla area here following a brief shootout, an official said on Sunday.

Based on a tip-off about Amit Dagar, brother of jailed gangster Omprakash, alias Kala, and his associate Ankit, a police team reached the spot late on Saturday, a police officer said.

The officer said when the accused were cornered, the two opened fire on the police team. In retaliatory firing, both accused suffered gunshot wounds to their legs and they were taken to a hospital.

The accused are key operatives of the Kala Jathedi gang, the police said, adding that further investigation was underway to trace other gang members and their operations.

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).
