A Ludhiana Crime Branch team arrested Amargiri, a resident of Harkrishan Nagar, Shimlapuri, here, for possessing an illegal .30 bore pistol and two cartridges. The police on Wednesday registered a case against the suspect under the Arms Act.

According to ADCP Amandeep Singh Brar, the Crime Branch team, led by Bikramjit Singh Ghuman, received a tip-off and apprehended Amargiri in the Kohara area.

During the arrest, the police seized the pistol and cartridges from his possession.

The police will interrogate the suspect during his remand to determine the source of the illegal arms and where he intended to use them.

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).
