The police claimed to have nabbed a notorious proclaimed offender (PO) who had been booked in about 50 cases at various police stations of the state and neighbouring states during past years.

The accused arrested by the CIA wing at Mahorana was identified as Rupam Sharma of Surya Enclave, Jalandhar.

Malerkotla SSP Gagan Ajit Singh said police officials, supervised by SP (D) Sat Pal Sharma, had nabbed a PO of the Jalandhar region, who had been booked in about 50 cases registered at various police districts and neighbouring states during the past. Most of the cases, including the one registered against Rupam Sharma at the Malerkotla city I police station in 2023, were filed under the Negotiable Instrument Act and he had been absconding in the majority of 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).
