Amritsar, August 27

Around five armed persons robbed a jeweller at gunpoint at Fatehgarh Churian Road on Friday and decamped with Rs 1.25 lakh and jewellery worth Rs 25 lakh.

The incident was captured on CCTV cameras where they were seen fleeing on their bikes in just three minutes. In his complaint, the victim, Vishnu, said the armed persons entered the shop at around 3.45 pm and threatened to shoot him. He added that the robbers had removed the digital video recorder of the shop but forgot to take it with them before fleeing. Lal Chand, owner of the shop was not present at the shop.

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).
