Nawanshahr, April 4

Rattandeep Singh, a former militant, was gunned down by two bike-borne assailants on Wednesday night in Balachaur.

Rattandeep was accompanied by his nephew and they were in the car.

The police reached the spot and found a poster in which one Gopi Nawanshahria has claimed the responsibility of the murder.

Mukesh Sharma, Nawanshahr SP, said that an investigation was going on.

“Rattandeep was arrested by the Punjab Police in 2014 and he was linked with the militant group,” the police said. The deceased was earlier associated with Bhindrawala Tiger Force Militant Group.

“We are asking Rattandeep’s nephew about the reason they were here,” the police added.

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).
