Amritsar, March 22

Senior police officials–headed by a DSP–on Wednesday reached Jallupur Khera, the native village of Amritpal Singh, to question his wife, a UK-based NRI.

Her name has allegedly figured in garnering funds from foreign shores for his activities and organisation ‘Waris Punjab De’.

Earlier, a woman DSP-rank official also visited his house and questioned his wife and other family members.

DSP Harkrishan Singh, who visited Amritpal’s house, said they were there for investigation.

For the past four days, Amritpal has been evading arrest. The National Security Act has been invoked against Amritpal and a non-bailable warrant issued against him.

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).
