The Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of the police has arrested a shooter involved in the jeweller attack case, said Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav here on Saturday.

The arrested man has been identified as Jagroshan Singh of Naushera Pannuan in Tarn Taran. He has no criminal background.

Some unidentified persons had opened fire on a Zira-based jeweller in Ferozepur district around 6 pm on August 14. The jeweller sustained serious injuries in the attack.

Investigations revealed that the shooters acted on the directions of foreign-based gangster Lakhbir Singh, alias Landa. Further investigation is underway to establish forward and backward linkages in the case to unearth the entire network, the DGP said.

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).
