Chandigarh, May 8

Notorious gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria was questioned on his alleged links with other gangsters and terror groups in Kashmir, Pakistan and other places in connection with an attack on a Shiv Sena leader and murder of an Akali sapranch, Dalbir Singh Dhilwan.

Also, he was asked about the recovery of a mobile phone from him in the Patiala Central Jail. Though senior officials are tight-lipped, sources said Jaggu hinted at a network of gangsters, drugs smugglers and terror groups operating in Kashmir and other places. Bhagwanpuria, who returned to the Patiala jail today, had tested positive for Covid on May 5, though he did not show any symptoms of cough and cold in police custody.

Later, his test reports came out negative. He was first questioned in Batala district and later in Mohali. — 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).
