Gurdaspur, July 17

The police are investigating a sacrilege incident which reportedly occurred this afternoon at a gurdwara at Behrampur town, 4 km from here.

After receiving reports that some pages of Guru Granth Sahib had been mutilated, SSP Harish Dayama rushed a team comprising DSPs Sukhpal Singh Randhawa, Gurwinder Singh and Sukhwinder Singh to the spot.

The team held deliberations with the gurdwara management. “We are checking the footage of CCTV cameras installed in the area,” said an investigating officer.

A crowd gathered outside the shrine when news of the sacrilege incident spread in the area.

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).
