Jalandhar, March 23

The Jalandhar Rural police recovered two bikes – a Bullet and a Splendor used by Amritpal and his accomplices during the escape – from Shahkot.

The police have registered an FIR against three youths – Gurbhej Singh, Shatrana Singh and Bikram Singh – who had moved with Amritpal from Nangal Ambian village of Shahkot on a separate Bullet bike and later parted ways.

Going ahead, the Bullet either developed a snag or ran out of fuel after which the trio dumped it. An FIR has been lodged under Sections 279, 341, 379 B of the IPC and Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act. Both bikes have been found from Shahkot.

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).
