The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today conducted searches at Garhi Sisana and Sersa villages in Sonepat district as part of its crackdown on the alleged organised crime syndicate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

The searches began in the wee hours and the NIA teams led by a DSP-level officer arrived at the residence of Priyavart, alias Fauji, a notorious sharpshooter of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and a key accused in Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s murder. The team questioned Fauji’s mother.

Another team of the NIA raided the residence of notorious criminal Ankit Sersa, who was allegedly another key accused in the Moosewala case. The team questioned Ankit’s father besides conducting searches at his house.

Both Fauji and Ankit Sersa were arrested by the Punjab Police for Moosewala’s murder.

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).
