Police have arrested three suspects involved in the illegal sale of Indian Premier League (IPL) match tickets at inflated prices. The accused have been identified as Naveen, a resident of Jind, and Darpan and Parharsh Anurag from New Delhi.

The arrests took place during the First Qualifier match between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Mullanpur Cricket Stadium.
Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police, Harmandeep Singh Hans, confirmed that an FIR has been registered under Section 318(4) of the BNS at the Mullanpur police station on Thursday.

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).
