The Punjab Police have released 44 persons, who were taken into preventive custody during the operation against “Waris Punjab De” head Amritpal Singh.

Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Law and Order Arpit Shukla said keeping in view that the youngsters should not suffer, they decided to release those who had a minimum role or were just following Amritpal on religious sentiments.

As many as 44 persons who were under preventive custody were handed over to their family members on Friday.

A total of 207 persons had been arrested for disturbing peace in the state. Of these, 30 were found involved in substantive criminal activities.

The IGP said thorough screening of the remaining persons was underway and those not found involved in any criminal activity would also be released.

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).
