New Delhi, June 19

A 24-year-old man allegedly impersonating as a sexagenarian bound for Canada has been apprehended by the CISF at the Delhi international airport.

The passenger, Guru Sewak Singh, with dyed hair and beard, was intercepted on Tuesday evening at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport and handed over to the Delhi Police, a senior officer of the force said on Wednesday.

The man was first checked by CISF personnel as his activities were found to be suspicious. “Closer observation revealed that he had dyed his hair and beard white, and was wearing glasses to appear older,” the officer said. He initially produced his identity in the form of a passport bearing the name Rashvindar Singh Sahota, 67. He was supposed to board an Air Canada plane flying out of Delhi.

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).
