The police on Monday claimed to have arrested a Lashkar-e-Toiba associate, Ather Illahi Sheikh, for his “involvement” in killing of an Army soldier, Sameer Malla, in Budgam. Malla’s body was found buried in an orchard in Larkipora, Budgam. “Specific leads were generated which led to one suspect identified as Ather Illahi Sheikh,” a police spokesperson said.

In another case, three militant associates were arrested after a Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) module allegedly involved in the killing of a sarpanch was busted in Kulgam district. They have been identified as Danish Ahmad Dar, Faisal Hameed Wagay and Nisar Rashid Bhat. —

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).
