A 37-year-old man affiliated with a criminal gang was shot dead by three members of a rival group here on Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

A critically injured Sumit Jandiyal was taken to Government Medical College hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, police said, adding that the assailants took a two-wheeler at gunpoint and fled.

Jandiyal alias Gataru is reported to be the kingpin of the Gataru gang.

Additional Director General of Police Anand Jain said, "It is a gang war. He (Jandiyal) belonged to the Gataru gang of Vijaypur. Members of a rival gang fired on him. It is not a terrorist incident, but a case of rivalry."

Police have launched an operation to track down the attackers.

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).
