Devotees caught a man tearing copies of Gutka Sahib, a small religious book for daily prayers, near Sri Guru Arjan Niwas Serai on the Golden Temple complex on Monday night.

He was identified as Gupreet Singh.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami has demanded a strict action against the accused following the alleged incident.

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).
