Bathinda, June 29

Two gangsters lodged in Bathinda Central Jail have allegedly attacked the warder here. Assistant Jail Superintendent Gauravdeep Singh, in his complaint at the Cantonment police station on Tuesday, said gangsters — Rajveer Singh of Gurdaspur, and Gurdeep Singh of Ludhiana, — had attacked the jail warder and sought action against them.

The complaint also mentioned that while these gangsters not only beat up warder Gurmeet Singh, but also pushed around other officials and even tried to escape from the jail. The assailants also threatened the cops at the jail with dire consequences. These two accused have more than 15 criminal cases registered against them in different districts. The jail officials had recovered a mobile phone and five SIM cards from Rajveer recently.

A case has been registered under the Prisons Act.

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).
