Phagwara, July 25

The Goraya police on Sunday busted an inter-district gang of robbers by arresting its six members.

SP (Detective) Sarabjit Bahia said here on Monday that the police had seized two pistols (7.65mm), three magazines, 12 live cartridges, a .32-bore revolver with two cartridges, a .315-bore country-made pistol, six mobile phones, a Pulsar motorcycle, a Maestro scooter and two sharp-edged weapons from those arrested.

Those arrested have been identified as Vishal Bassi, Jatinder Singh, Manveer Singh, Surinder Singh and Parjan Kumar, all residents of Panchhat village in Phagwara sub-division, and Anup Bangar, a resident of Chachrari village near Goraya.

Phillaur DSP Jagdish Raj said a case under Section 115 of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act was registered against them.

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).
