The Ludhiana rural police claimed to have nabbed four shooters, who had recently demanded extortion from an NRI, a native of Pandori village, near Dakha. An extortion call was also received by the NRI from some Haryana-based gangster, now staying abroad.

Police sources said gangster Harry Boxer had demanded Rs 5 crore extortion from the NRI. When the amount was not given, the suspect had sent his shooters who fired shots outside the house of the victim. When the shooting occurred, NRI’s wife and children were present inside the house. Fortunately, nobody suffered any bullet injury in the firing.

The police said technical investigation conducted by the police in the case led to the cracking of the case.

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).
