Chandigarh, September 20

Punjab-based Bambhiha gang claims to have killed gangster Sandeep Bishnoi in Nagaur town of Rajasthan on Monday.

Bishnoi was a native of Mangali village in Hisar.

Meanwhile, Punjab Police said Bishnoi was not a regular member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

A police official, on condition of anonymity, said, “He has been in and out of the gang. He is not Lawrence’s relative. He is not wanted in any case in Punjab and has no link with Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s killing. We are in touch with Rajasthan Police to ascertain if a Punjab gangster is involved in the killing of Bishnoi, as claimed by the Bambiha gang. He was probably killed by a local Rajasthani gang.”

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).
