Amritsar, October 30

An unidentified person tried to loot an ATM in the New Amritsar area here on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday. The incident came to light when bank authorities reached the office on Saturday morning and found the ATM damaged. However, the accused failed to steal any cash from the machine.

On scrutinising the CCTV footage, the bank authorities found that a man was making an attempt to break open the ATM between 2.38 to 2.48 am. On the complaint of bank manager Gaurav Agarwal, the police have registered a case under Sections 454, 380, 427 and 511 of the IPC against the unidentified person.

ASI Balwinder Singh, investigating officer, said the CCTV footage would be taken from the bank authorities for further probe.

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).
