The Ludhiana police brought gangster Gaurav Sharma, alias Goru Bacha, on production warrant from a Bathinda jail in connection with the extortion demand of Rs 50 lakh made to city-based businessman Gagandeep Singh.

The police obtained a two-day remand of the gangster.

The Dugri police had registered a case on the charges of extortion and criminal intimidation against the gangster. The complainant had also submitted multiple call recordings to the police.

“He is facing 57 criminal cases, including that of robbery, snatching, attempt to murder and murder,” he said.

Goru had allegedly called Gagandeep from the landline number of the Bathinda jail and demanded Rs 50 lakh.

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).
