Lucknow, November 18

Sufiyan, the accused in the love jihad case, was arrested on Friday following a brief encounter with the police.

Sufiyan received a bullet injury in the leg when the police opened fire to stop him from fleeing.

The encounter took place in Dubagga area here and ACP DK Singh led the police team.

Earlier this week, Sufiyan allegedly threw the victim off the fourth floor because she refused to convert and marry him.

The Lucknow police had announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for anyone giving information about Sufiyan.

Protests had been taking place in Lucknow as people demanded his arrest and strict punishment in the case. IANS

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).
