Tarn Taran, April 17

The Goindwal Sahib police have arrested two assailants of former SAD sarpanch of Gurdaspur’s Dhilwan village from the house of Inderbir Singh, who had given shelter to the murderers, at Chhapri Sahib village, 25 km from here, on Thursday.

The accused have been identified as Mandeep Singh Deep of Gurdaspur’s Dhariwal and Jagdish Singh Jagga of Gurdaspur’s Dalam Nangal village.

The SAD leader, Dalbir Singh of Dhaliwal, was a two-time sarpanch and vice president of the Gurdaspur district SAD committee. He was shot dead on November 18, 2019, at his native village.

SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia had led the protests against the killing of the party leader and blamed senior Congress leaders, saying they were behind the killing.

The district police were tight-lipped to divulge any information. — OC

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).
