Chandigarh, February 18

In a major breakthrough, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of Punjab Police on Sunday shot dead gangster Gurmeet Singh alias Kala Dhanaula during an encounter in Barnala, said officials.

Giving details about the incident on X, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said the category ‘A’ gangster was neutralised at a farm house in Barnala’s Badbar.

“Police party fired back in self-defence, one Inspector & one Sub-Inspector have been injured in cross-firing”, he said in the post.

The DGP said the accused was a history-sheeter with over 60 heinous criminal cases registered against him.

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.
