Over five months after armed robbers looted a branch of the HDFC Bank at Manjhwind village, the Kathunangal police have arrested another prime accused in the case. He was identified as Karanbir Singh alias Kannu of Nanaksar Mohalla in Tarn Taran. The police also arrested his mother Anuradha for allegedly sheltering him.

On September 18 last year, unknown armed miscreants had entered the HDFC bank branch and decamped with Rs 25.70 lakh at gunpoint.

Maninder Singh, SSP (Amritsar rural), said the police had earlier arrested Satnam Singh of Nanaksar Mohalla, Kashmir Singh alias Sheeru, Paramjit Singh alias Sonu of Hansawala, Goindwal Sahib and Shamsher Singh alias Shera of Mianpur in Tarn Taran in the case.

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).
