New Delhi, April 10

The Canadian police have arrested an Indian-origin man on the charges of causing disturbance at a mosque in Ontario City.

Investigators with the York regional police have arrested the suspect, identified as Sharan Karunakaran, with several criminal charges after the suspected hate-motivated incident. Karunakaran has been charged with one count of uttering threats, one count of assault with a weapon and one count of dangerous driving.

Witnesses reported that Karunakaran attended the mosque in a vehicle and drove directly at one of the worshippers, yelling threats and religious slurs. The suspect drove dangerously in the parking lot before leaving the property, a police official said.

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).
