The Ludhiana Police claimed to have prevented a major potential tragedy by arresting three miscreants who intended to create panic by blasting a hand grenade at a densely populated area.

A hand grenade was recovered from the possession of the accused, identified as Kuldeep Singh, Parvinder Singh, and Ramnik Singh, who were arrested at Shivpuri Chowk on Monday evening.

The police have launched a manhunt for Shekhar Singh and Ajai, who fled the scene upon seeing the cops.

Perusal of an FIR registered under sections 3,4, and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act and section 113 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) revealed that the suspects identified had a connection with ISI agents and carried explosives to Ludhiana to cause panic by striking at a congested place.

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).
