Amritsar, June 12

Four armed men allegedly robbed a finance firm employee of around Rs 10 lakh near the old octroi post here on Monday morning.

Sharanjit Singh was going to the Kabir Park side when the incident took place.

The men allegedly threw chilli powder in his eyes and attacked him with sharp-edged weapons.

When he did not let the bag containing the money go, the accused took out a pistol following which he relented.

The injured Sharanjit was admitted to hospital.

Police reached the spot and started investigation. ACP Surinder Singh said the police are scanning the CCTV cameras to trace the accused.

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).
