The NIA has arrested two absconding persons belonging to the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) in connection with the killing of Balwinder Singh Sandhu, a Shaurya Chakra awardee, in Tarn Taran district.

Officials in the agency said NIA sleuths arrested Harbhinder Singh, alias Pinder, and Navpreet Singh, alias Nav, both from Tarn Taran.

A senior NIA official said, “They are close aides of Inderjit Singh, who was involved in the conspiracy to kill Sandhu.” The accused were produced before the NIA Special Court in Mohali today and sent to the agency custody for four days. A case in connection with Sandhu’s murder was initially registered by the Punjab Police but the NIA took over the probe on January 26 this year. — TNS

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).
