A search operation carried out jointly by the jail staff and CRPF personnel inside Kapurthala Central Jail led to the recovery of a mobile phone from an inmate on Tuesday.

According to the prison authorities, the operation was conducted in the barracks to check for unauthorised items. During the inspection of Ward No. 1, inmate Kuldeep Singh, alias Khadi, 31, resident of Jagjit Nagar, Hamira, was subjected to a personal search. He was found in possession of a mobile phone concealed in the fold of his pyjama. The device contained a SIM card.

Officials said the recovery violates prison rules as inmates are strictly prohibited from possessing mobile phones or any communication devices. Following the seizure, a case has been registered against the prisoner under relevant provisions of law.

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).
