The Gurdaspur police have booked two local residents for allegedly compromising national security by leaking sensitive military information.

The police booked Sukhpreet Singh and Karanbir Singh under the Officials Secret Act at the Dorangla police station.

Dorangla is also known as a hotbed of drone activity.

Senior officials said the two were arrested on May 15 based on “credible intelligence inputs”.

The two were reportedly giving information to their ISI handlers relating to Operation Sindoor. This information involved sharing classified details pertaining to troop movement and key strategic locations in Punjab, J&K and Himachal Pradesh.

A press release said the forensic examination of their mobile phones revealed startling details.

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).
