The Punjab Police have arrested gangster Ankit Rana who operated extortion rackets in Punjab and Haryana, a top official said on Saturday.

Rana, who was wanted in many other criminal cases, was nabbed by the Punjab Police’s Anti Gangster Task Force.

“In a major breakthrough, #AGTF Punjab, in coordination with @sasnagarpolice has arrested Gangster Ankit Rana, wanted for Baltana Encounter Case & many other criminal cases.

“Ankit is one of the main Kingpins of extortion rackets in #Punjab-#Haryana,” said Director-General of Police Gaurav Yadav in a tweet.

He said the Punjab Police are committed to make the state crime-free according to the vision of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

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).
