Patiala, April 27

Acting on a tip-off, the police today arrested Harpreet Singh, alias Happy, a close aide of gangster Kanwar Randeep Singh, alias SK Kharoud. Harpreet was arrested by a team of the Patiala CIA staff.

Addressing a press conference, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Varun Sharma said the police recovered two .32 bore pistols, along with 10 cartridges, from Harpreet’s possession.

He said, “A team led by CIA in-charge Shaminder Singh was already on a prowl when they got a tip-off that Harpreet was in the city.” The SSP added, “He faces 10 criminal cases, including attempt to murder, some under the Arms Act and other cases pertaining to inter-gang rivalry.”

“We will interrogate the suspect and ascertain the source of weapons recovered from him,” Shaminder said.

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).
