The Khanna police have arrested Pritpal Singh, a resident of Amritsar, for allegedly firing gunshots at Baldev Singh, when he was travelling in his Toyota Fortuner vehicle in Machhiwara.

On September 30, when Baldev reached near a cold storage, two youths in a Hyundai i20 car came from the rear and the person sitting next to the driver seat fired shots at him, which hit his neck. Both unidentified persons fled the scene. A case was registered at the Machhiwara police station.

Pritpal was arrested in the case. He informed the police that he along with his acquaintances, who were staying abroad, had planned the attack. They wanted to take extortion money from Baldev. Investigation was on in 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).
