A day after the arrest of three members of the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) module from Bihar, the city police have taken their three accomplices on remand from Amritsar Central Jail.

Those taken into police custody are: Gurbax Singh, Joban Singh and Mandeep Singh, alias Bhola. They were lodged in the jail in connection with drug cases.

The names of these persons cropped up during the interrogation of Karandeep Yadav (21), Mukesh Kumar (29) and Sajan Singh (24), who were arrested from the Madhepur police station area in Bihar while they were trying to flee to Nepal.

Sources said Bhola was the kingpin. He introduced Karandeep, Mukesh and Sajan to other members of the gang that had been active in cross-border smuggling for the past two years.

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).
