Amritsar, December 15

Nine months after Amritpal Singh, chief of the Waris Punjab De, and his supporters stormed into the Ajnala police station, the Amritsar (rural) police have arrested his aide Kulwant Singh of Buttar village in Muktsar district.

Kulwant was produced before the Ajnala court, which sent him to four-day police remand.

DSP Riputapan Singh confirmed Kulwant’s arrest and said he was involved in the Ajnala incident in which supporters of the Waris Punjab De chief had clashed with the police on February 24 demanding the release of Lovepreet Singh, alias Toofan of Gurdaspur.

Amritpal and his associates were arrested under the National Security Act and shifted to the Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam. The police said Kulwant was Waris Punjab De Muktsar unit’s head.

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).
