The Haryana Police has arrested a man with six illegal pistols and a live cartridge in Jind district on Wednesday, officials said.

“The accused has been identified as Happy alias Kashi, a resident of Alewa in Jind,” a spokesperson of Haryana Police said here.

He said a police team received a tip-off that a man was roaming near a government school in the Alewa area along with illegal weapons and he could use that to commit some crime.

“Accordingly, the police team raided the location and arrested the accused. When searched, two 30 bore pistols, four 32 bore pistols and a live cartridge were recovered from his possession,” he said.

A case has been registered against the accused under the provisions of the Arms Act. The police are also investigating his criminal background.

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).
