Moga, December 17

Police have arrested three members of the Bambiha gang following an encounter in Punjab’s Moga on Sunday.

Moga CIA inspector Daljit Singh said a police team asked the accused persons — Moga residents Shankar Rajput and Jashan, and Dharamkot resident Navdeep Singh — on a bike to stop during a checking near Badhni but they tried to flee, prompting the cops to chase them.

The trio then left their bike and entered a nearby farm and opened fire at the police team who retaliated, said Singh, adding that one of the accused and a police constable sustained injuries in the crossfire.

Later, the police team successfully arrested all three accused, said the official.

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).
