Phagwara, December 5

An inmate, identified as Sahil Parvesh, who was arrested under the NDPS Act on November 2, attempted to escape from custody when he was taken out after being produced before the Judicial Magistrate on Wednesday.

Kapurthala SSP Satinder Singh said ASI Udhey Bhan and head constable Major Singh were going to handcuff the accused when he pushed them and managed to escape. However, they succeeded in nabbing him. The SSP said a case under Section 224 of the IPC had been registered against the accused. He was again produced before the Judicial Magistrate who sent him to judicial custody.

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).
