The Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF), in collaboration with the Batala police, apprehended a member of gangster Jaggu Bhawanpuria gang on Wednesday. He was identified as Gurlove Singh, alias Love Randhawa, of Batala city.

Two pistols, three magazines and 16 live cartridges were seized from his possession. An officer said he was acting on the instructions of foreign-based gangster Amrit Dalam. He has several cases registered against him, particularly those related to the Arms Act, housebreaking and theft. A fresh FIR has been registered at the Civil Lines police station.

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).
