The Gurugram police have arrested a wanted criminal, who had been absconding for 16 years, in a murder case. The accused had beaten his friend to death in 2009 over a money-related dispute and set his body on fire.

The accused was identified as Dinesh Ahirwar, a native of Damoh in MP. After killing his friend in Gurugram, he kept changing his location and working as a mason in Rewari, Chandigarh and other places. “A team, led by SI Deepak Kumar arrested Dinesh at Damoh on Friday. He had a reward of Rs 5,000 on his head,” said Lalit Dalal, ACP (Crime 2). — OC

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).
