Five country-made pistols were seized from the suspects identified as Luvdeep Singh of Moga, Pardeep Singh of Samrala, Harpreet Singh of Amritsar, Inderpreet Singh from Mansa and Harmandeep Singh of Tarn Taran.

SSP Vivek Sheel Soni said CIA staff incharge Inspector Satnam Singh conducted a raid and nabbed Luvdeep, Pardeep and Harpreet. Later, Inderpreet and Harmandeep were also arrested. They used to buy weapons from Balwari (MP) for Rs 20,000 a piece. — 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).
