A crime suspect opened fire on the police near Buhara village in SBS Nagar where he was taken for weapon recovery on Thursday night. Suspect Amandeep of Garupur village was injured in the retaliatory fire by the police.

A police team had taken Amandeep to a canal at Buhara village, where he had allegedly hidden a pistol used in a previous crime. During the operation, Amandeep retrieved the weapon and fired at the police team. Police personnel fired in self-defence and a bullet hit Amandeep in the leg.

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).
