Amritsar, December 28

Day after sensational robbery at a hotel on the Majitha road, the police today nabbed the prime suspect, identified as Ravinder Singh , alias Ricky, a resident of Kot Khera village in Tarsikka. His three accomplices, who have cash looted from the hotel, are still absconding.

Varinder Singh Khosa, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), North, said Ravinder had been arrested and raids were on to nab his accomplices.

A hotel manager identified as Manroop Singh was shot at by four armed persons on Tuesday night. The suspects were escaping after looting Rs 16.50 lakh from two customers in the hotel when the incident happened.

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).
