Senior Superintendent of Police, Narinder Bhargav said following some inputs, the CIA sleuths laid a trap and nabbed the accused, identified as Vikram and Arun Bhatti, both residents of Bare ke village.

They were travelling on a car and a bike, with both vehicles having fake registration numbers.

A case has been registered and further investigation is on, police 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).
