A case of attempt to murder was registered against a family of New Swarn Park Colony on Rahon Road for allegedly firing bullets at a court bailiff who had come to enforce court orders.

The case was registered against Kripal Singh, his wife Surinder Kaur, son Gurjeet Singh and their two daughters-in-law on the complaint of Gurpreet Singh (51) of Model village.

As per the complaint, Gurpreet had a old property dispute with Kripal, which was pending in a court. It ruled in Gurpreet’s favour and gave him possession of the property. On March 13, he reached the spot along with bailiff Bahadur Khan and labourers to implement the order. When Kripal and his kin were told about it, they allegedly started abusing them. Later, Kripal and his son climbed onto the roof and opened fire with a rifle. The police launched a probe to nab the suspects.

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).
