Jalandhar, February 10

Two persons were arrested with illegal weapons by the Bhogpur police here. Two pistols, four magazines (7.65 mm) and four live rounds were seized by the police from the suspects.

The police said during a naka at Tandi village they checked a S-Cross vehicle. The driver revealed his name as Rahul Mattu (32) resident of Anand Vihar, Amritsar, and the person travelling with him was identified as Shiva Malhotra (26), a resident of Lahori Gate, Amritsar.

During investigation, it was revealed that the seized weapons had been kept by them in view of an ongoing fight with members of a rival gang.

While they also had a previous case against them in Amritsar, an FIR was lodged against them at the Bhogpur police station under Section 25 of the NDPS Act on Saturday.

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).
