Chandigarh, June 1

Police officials said today they were verifying claims after a Facebook post allegedly by a gang threatened to take revenge for singer Sidhu Moosewala’s killing.

An official said they took all Facebook posts about or by gangsters seriously.

“This could be a serious threat or someone might try to make such claims for sensation, publicity or to get security,” they said.

In the post, the Neeraj Bawana gang vowed a retaliatory attack, saying they “will give results in two days”. Bawana, currently lodged in Tihar Jail, is a history-sheeter. He is facing trial in a number of murder and ransom cases. The post came from an unverified account. However, police sources said it was common for gangsters to make new accounts.

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).
