The Ludhiana police arrested three men wanted in an extortion case following an encounter on Dhandran Road here in the wee hours of Friday.

The three were injured in the encounter and hospitalised.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amandeep Singh Brar said three CIA teams were patrolling on Dhandran Road and when they intercepted a car its occupants started firing at the police. In retaliation, the police also fired, he added.

The accused had demanded Rs 50 lakh from Karan Preet Singh, the owner of an immigration firm.

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).
