Mohali, February 2

After busting a child trafficking racket with the arrest of four accused recently, the police conducted raids in search of the kingpin of the gang in Mansa and other places.

The police on Tuesday recovered a 5-day-old child from the gang’s possession. The accused who have been arrested are: Charanvir Singh and his wife Parvinder Kaur, and Manjinder Singh and his wife Parvinder Kaur.

A senior police official said they were raiding many possible hideouts in the state in search of kingpin who engaged these couples to work for him in identifying the poor parents of infants and convince them to sell their children. He said they suspected more such couples could be involved in the racket spread across the state.

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).
