Amritsar, October 2

A man from Chandigarh was shot at by robbers in the Majitha sub-division here on Saturday evening. He had come to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple. The victim, Anil Kumar, is a resident of Sector 13, Chandigarh.

While returning to bus stand, an unknown motorcyclist offered the victim a lift to help him catch the bus. However, the motorcycle-borne miscreant took him to Majitha. When the victim objected to this, the suspect and his unidentified accomplices thrashed him and shot at him. They also snatched Rs 7,000 from him and fled.

The victim was admitted to the Guru Nanak Dev Hospital (GNDH). The Majitha police have registered a case against unidentified persons in this connection. A case under Section 379-B (2) of the IPC and Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act in this regard.

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).
