According to the information received, two unknown persons entered the bank. They had covered their faces with cloths. There was no security guard at the bank while only three women staffs were present in the bank.

The suspects demanded cash from the staff at gunpoint and after taking the money, fled from the spot. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Charanjit Singh confirmed the incident and said police teams were trying to locate the whereabouts of the suspects.

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).
