Patiala, May 7

The CIA staff of the police has arrested another individual in connection with the Patiala central jail break case.

SSP Vikram Jeet Duggal today said Gurmeet Singh, a resident of Ranipur Kamboa village in Kapurthala district, was arrested by the CIA staff yesterday.

Gurmeet had given shelter to Inderjit Singh Dhyana, who was arrested earlier by the police. Duggal said prisoners Inderjit and Sher Singh, and detainee Jaspreet Singh, were accused of fleeing the jail and a case had been registered against them on April 28.

Duggal said Sher Singh was serving his sentence in a murder case. “Twelve cases under the NDPS Act, robbery, theft and others are registered against Inderjit in different police stations of Kapurthala, while Jaspreet faces charges of murder and use of mobile phone in jail,” he said. — TNS

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).
