Jalandhar, June 10

In a major breakthrough, the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police have arrested three associates of Canada-based terrorist Lakhbir Landa who were involved in 35 criminal cases of extortions and cross-border smuggling of weapons and drugs.

Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav on Monday posted on X that the accused were tasked by foreign-based handlers to eliminate a member of the rival gang.

An FIR has been registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Forward and backward linkages are being investigated.

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).
