The NIA today said it has filed a supplementary chargesheet naming Gagandeep Singh, alias Gaggu, as an accused in connection with a case relating to the conspiracy hatched by Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) to kill priest Kamaldeep Sharma in Jalandhar.

While saying it had earlier filed a chargesheet against four accused on July 4 in the case, the NIA said the investigation had revealed that the conspiracy was hatched by Arshdeep Singh, alias Arsh, and Hardeep Singh Nijjar, both based in Canada, to disturb peace and disrupt communal harmony.

Gagandeep Singh of Meerut, has been charged under the Arms Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the agency said, adding that further investigation in the case was in progress.

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).
