The Enforcement Directorate has provisionally attached immovable properties worth Rs 1.93 crore belonging to family members of Ranjit Singh, alias Rana, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

The ED initiated investigation on the basis of two FIRs registered by the Punjab Police and the NIA under various provisions of the IPC, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Arms Act, Indian Passport Act, Foreigner Act and NDPS Act.

The probe revealed Rana imported narcotics from Pakistan and Afghanistan in the guise of rock salt in connivance with Gurpinder Singh (now deceased), Tariq Ahmad Lone, Ajay Gupta, Iqbal Singh and others. He was investing the proceeds of crime in buying immovable properties in the name of his kin.

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).
