The NIA is raiding places in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi on Monday as a crackdown on gangsters having links with terror groups.

Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said the raids are not specifically into the Sidhu Moosewala killing case but regarding two ‘omnibus FIRs’ lodged against gangsters under UAPA by Delhi Police and later transferred to the NIA.

Punjab Police are providing the assistance, he said.

Anti-Gangster Task Force chief ADGP Promod Ban is leading the Punjab Police teams.

An NIA spokesperson said, “The NIA has no investigation launched into the Sidhu Moosewala case. We have registered separate cases on gangsters’ networks. These searches are about that. The NIA PRO will release a press note in due course.”

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).
