The Delhi Police have arrested a 30-year-old man and detained one more in connection with writing pro-Khalistan messages on the walls of four Delhi Metro stations ahead of the G20 summit, officials said on Thursday.

The police said the accused carried out the act on the directions of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the chief of the banned US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) outfit.

The police said while Pritpal Singh has been arrested, Rajvinder Singh was detained. Rajvinder Singh is being brought to Delhi and will be produced before a court.

Special Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) HGS Dhaliwal said some mobile numbers of the Punjab network were found moving at the Metro stations where the crime was committed. “Those numbers were placed on interception and a team went to Bhatinda. On Wednesday, Pritpal Singh was arrested,” he said.

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).
