In the ongoing investigation into the murder of trader Jatinder Kumar, alias Pinka, on July14, the police have brought dreaded gangster Mandeep Singh Dhruv on production warrants from the jail.

Dhruv is believed to be operating a gang of extortionists and supari killers from the jail with the help of some NRIs and local associates.

Accepting the police request, a court today allowed two-day police remand of Dhruv besides giving the go-ahead to conduct his narco test to ascertain his involvement in the murder.

Investigations revealed that Dhruv’s NRI friends, Ramandeep Singh (Canada) and Arshdeep Singh (UK) made extortion calls from abroad.

Dhruv already faces at least 10 cases of murder, shootout and extortion in various cities/towns of the Malwa belt. He is in the jail for the past over six years. — TNS

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).
