Sukha Duneke gang member Lovepreet Singh (26), alias Jhaindu, was injured in an encounter with a police team from the Tallewal police station at a naka on the Vidhata village link road in Barnala district on Tuesday.

Barnala SSP Mohammad Sarfaraz Alam said Lovepreet opened fire on the police, hitting a police vehicle. In the retaliatory firing by the police, he suffered a bullet injury in the leg. Lovepreet is a resident of Mehal Khurd village in Barnala district.

The SSP said that a 30 bore pistol was seized from the spot. Lovepreet was involved in several criminal cases. He was declared a proclaimed offender (PO) in a case earlier, he added.

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).
