Rohtak, May 17

Two youths were arrested after an armed encounter with a police party on the Kharawar-Naunand road in Rohtak district last night, local SP told newsmen on Tuesday evening.

Eleven pistols and 176 live cartridges have been seized from the possession of the arrested youths. An accomplice of the youths, however, managed to escape.

“Preliminary interrogation of the arrested youths has revealed that they used to bring illegal weapons from Uttar Pradesh and supplied those to different gangs of criminals in Haryana,” said Rohtak Superintendent of Police Udai Singh Meena, adding that they also indulged in snatching, loot and theft themselves. Efforts are being made to arrest the third youth, who has been identified as Om Prakash of Jharauda village in Delhi.

A case has been registered in this regard at the IMT police station.

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).
