Abohar, December 1

As many as 11 inmates have been booked in connection with a clash at Central Jail in Sriganganagar, 40 km from here, the police said on Sunday.

On the basis of a report submitted by Jailer Ravi Kumar, the police have registered an FIR naming Navneet Garg, Manjit Yadav, Joginder Tanwer, Sahil Shanty, Rahul Verma, Bhawani Singh, Rajan Bhambhu, Luxman Jakhar, Rahul Nayak, Anmol and Paramvir Puppy for rioting on Friday evening.

They were reportedly known as “aides” of gangster Ankit Bhadoo of Sherewala village in Abohar and Vinod Saharan, alias Jordan. Ankit was killed in encounter by the Punjab Police some time ago while Jordan was shot in Metallica Gym on Meera Marg in Sriganganagar allegedly by the Bhadoo gang last year.

Officials confirmed the miscreants had been shifted to different barracks.

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).
