The Kurukshetra police on Saturday arrested a youth and recovered a country-made pistol along with a live cartridge from his possession.

The accused has been identified as Rajat Verma, a resident of Kurukshetra. He was produced before a court, which remanded him to four days of police custody.

According to police spokesperson Naresh Kumar, the arrest followed a tip-off received on May 10 by a team from the Subhash Mandi police post. Acting swiftly, the team located Rajat Verma near the 18-storeyed Gyan Temple. Upon conducting a search, the police recovered the weapon and ammunition from him.

A case under the Arms Act has been registered at Krishna Gate police station and further investigation is underway.

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).
