The crime branch of the Delhi Police on Tuesday arrested another accused in the Red Fort violence incident from his native village in Punjab. Buta Singh (26) had been carrying a reward of Rs 50,000.

The youth’s family and neighbours made all efforts to stop the police from arresting him, but to no avail. Police officials claimed Buta Singh was present at the Red Fort during the violence on January 26. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Monika Bhardwaj said, “We received specific information about Buta Singh and a team was immediately sent to Punjab. Subsequently, a raid was conducted in his village at Talwandi Sobha Singh and he was nabbed.” The police official said the raiding team faced resistance from the youth’s family and neighbours, who tried to get him out of police custody. — 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).
