Jammu, December 30

The police on Monday nabbed an absconder in the Banihal area of Jammu after 16 years.

The accused, Rajpaul Singh of Ludhiana, Punjab, was evading arrest for the last 16 years in a case registered in 2003 at Banihal police station.

He was arrested by a team headed by Banihal SHO Abid Hussain Bhukhar under the overall supervision of Ramban SSP Anita Sharma.

Pertinently, the J&K Police have launched a drive across the UT against the absconders who have been evading arrest for the past several years. The motive behind the drive is to bring the accused before the court of law. — OC

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).
