Patiala, May 29

Three days after the jail authorities recovered a mobile from his possession, international wrestler and drug kingpin of yesteryears Jagdish Bhola has been shifted from Patiala Central Jail to Gurdaspur Central Jail.

Senior jail authorities confirmed that Bhola, who was imprisoned in a multi-crore synthetic drug racket, had already been shifted. He was brought to the Patiala jail from Muktsar in June last year. Sources said Bhola had been using the mobile phone for a quite long time and he had been punished by shifting him to another jail.

On Wednesday, the Patiala Central Jail authorities seized the mobile phone with a SIM card from Bhola’s possession. Following which, the jail officials had registered a case with the district police.

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).
