New Delhi, April 8

A man was arrested for allegedly killing an advocate over a property dispute in Dwarka area, the police said on Saturday. The arrested person, identified as Pradeep, alias Praveen, was previously involved in 12 criminal cases, they said.

Advocate Virender Kumar (35) was shot dead by two bike-borne assailants in Dwarka Sector-1 on April 1. During the investigation, Pradeep and Naresh’s involvement came to the fore. The police found that Pradeep was using a car which he bought sometime back and was constantly changing his location.

He used to sleep in his vehicle and mostly took routes of small villages, away from highways, the officer said. Police said they spotted Pradeep’s car in one of the tolls in Murthal area in Haryana and he was later apprehended from Bhalgarh in Sonepat on Friday.

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).
