Jalandhar, February 15

The police have arrested a person with an illegal pistol and live cartridges. The suspect has been identified as Pardeep Kumar, a resident of Mohalla Ratan Nagar in Jalandhar.

Divulging details, Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma said the police stopped Pardeep on suspicion at Basti Pulli Nehar. During checking, the police recovered an illegal pistol and four cartridges from his possession.

He said a case under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act was registered against the suspect at the Basti Bawa Khel police station.

“During investigation, it came to fore that the suspect had unlawfully obtained the pistol due to a personal rivalry. Further probe is on in the case,” he 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).
