A wanted criminal was injured following an encounter with a police team near Nadampur village in Bhawanigarh, police said on Sunday.

According to officials, the encounter occurred when the police brought the accused, Maninder Singh Mohali, to the location for the recovery of a weapon.

Sangrur SSP Sartaj Singh Chahal stated that the situation escalated when the gangster opened fire on the officers. In response, the police retaliated, injuring the gangster in the leg.

In a close call, a bullet fired by the accused struck the turban of one of the policemen, the SSP 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).
