The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a wanted terror accused in the March 2025 Amritsar temple grenade attack case. Sharanjit Kumar, alias Sunny, a resident of Batala, was nabbed on Friday from Gaya, Bihar.

The accused was found to have been actively involved in the conspiracy and execution of the terror attack that took place in the early hours of March 15.

The grenade attack was carried out by two bike-borne assailants, Gursidak Singh and Vishal Gill, who were working under the directions of foreign-based handlers. NIA investigations revealed a conspiracy by handlers having a transnational presence in Europe, USA and Canada.

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).
