The Batala police have arrested six persons who were allegedly involved in a grenade attack outside a liquor shop on May 17.

SSP Suhail Qasim Mir had formed multiple teams to probe the case using human intelligence and technical inputs. All six accused involved in the incident were traced and arrested within three days, the SSP said. Those arrested belong to the Mannu Agwan group of the Babbar Khalsa International. “The grenade was assembled by the accused by following the procedure as told by Portugal-based Maninder Billa and another individual via a video call,” said an official.

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).
