Kapurthala, January 7

The police on Thursday busted a gang of six persons involved in illegal supply of mobile SIM cards and phones to convicts lodged in Kapurthala jail for carrying out illegal activities.

A team was constituted under Sarabjit Singh Bahia, SP (D), along with Kotwali SHO Harinder Singh and a team of the district technical cell, to check the illegal smuggling. On information, the team nabbed Vijay of Sant Nagar in Basti Sheikh Jalandhar, Shivam of Preet Nagar Kapurthala and jail warden Lovepreet Singh.

The police recovered 16 active SIMs and one Samsung mobile battery. These SIMs and the mobile battery were to be sold to other jail inmates at a huge cost for carrying out illegal activities. An FIR was lodged. — TNS

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).
