The Punjab Police have arrested the second shooter, Inderjeet Singh, involved in the killing of Balwinder Singh on October 16 last year.

The suspect was nabbed from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, hours before he was scheduled to board a flight to Dubai. Inderjeet, along with Gurjit Singh, alias Bhaa, had shot Balwinder Singh at his residence-cum-school in Bhikhiwind, Tarn Taran.

According to DGP Dinkar Gupta, Gurjit Singh had been arrested by the Delhi Police on December 7, along with associate Sukhjeet Singh, alias Bura. Gupta said while Gurjit and Inderjeet Singh carried out the shooting, Sukhjeet was present near the spot. — 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).
