Additional Superintendent of Police Atish Kumar Singh said the Iranian nationals did not have valid visa for their stay in India.

They were stopped at the border crossing by Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel and immigration officials.

“We are trying to ascertain how they got here and for how long they were in India,” another officer said.

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).
