A Haryana man allegedly attacked a few SGPC employees and devotees with an iron rod at Guru Ram Dass Serai in the Golden Temple here on Friday, leaving them injured.

He was overpowered and handed over to the police.

The SGPC staff found the man roaming suspiciously and asked for his identity; he entered into an argument with the staff who asked him to leave the place.

The man went out, came back armed with an iron rod and allegedly attacked the SGPC staff and the devotees who tried to intervene. Four people, including two SGPC sewadars, were injured.

Sarmel Singh, SHO, Kotwali police, said the accused was identified as Zulfan of Haryana. Investigation is on to know what led to the incident, 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).
