The police have registered a criminal case under Sections 188 and 269 of the IPC and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty Animals Act, 1960, and arrested the kingpin, Gurpreet Singh of Bhagike.

The police claimed that there were at least 67 participants involved in the illegal sport. Investigations revealed that the individuals participated in the event by paying Rs1,000 each. When the cops raided the venue, most participants fled the spot, but the kingpin was arrested. — TNS

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).
