Four people were arrested for allegedly having raised a flag with the words ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ in a village in Sirsa, a spokesperson for Haryana Police said on Wednesday.

The incident occurred in Chaupal village. The spokesperson identified the people arrested as Rupinder Singh alias Rim, Yudhvir Singh alias Jony and Gurjeet—all three from Singhpura village—and Aman Sharma from Talwandi Sabo.

He claimed two of the four were involved in hoisting the flag and the other two shot the video and posted it on social media. Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, the spokesperson 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).
