Amritsar rural police arrested a cross-border trafficker and seized two pistols and fake currency from him here on Saturday evening.

He was identified as German Singh of Joti Shah village in Tarn Taran.

Amritsar Rural SSP Maninder Singh said the police had received an input that German was involved in cross-border smuggling of weapons.

He was intercepted at Gharida here.

The police seized a Glock 9 mm pistol with a magazine, a .30 bore pistol with two magazines and Rs 2.15 lakh in counterfeit currency from 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.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
