Jammu, September 21

The State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Wednesday raided several locations linked to a head constable, arrested on fraud charges, to ascertain if he was also involved in terror financing.

Mohammad Ramzan, who was arrested on Tuesday, has 16 bank accounts with transactions running into crores. He was also in touch with 10 foreign mobile numbers and had procured a fake passport, officials said. An SIA team raided the houses of Ramzan and Dubai-based Abu Baker in Kulgam and Bathindi (Jammu), respectively.

The search is underway, an official said. A court had denied bail to Ramzan on Tuesday, saying the charges pointed towards the seriousness of the matter.

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).
