Two swindlers stole Rs 1.97 lakh from a building material shop on Tuesday in the border town of Khemkaran. Ravinder Mohan, proprietor of the shop, in his statement to Khemkaran police, said that the swindlers came to the shop on the pretext of purchasing cement.

One of the swindlers took him to a nearby shop to check the quality of the cement. Meanwhile, his co-swindler took away cash worth Rs 1.97 lakh kept to deal with the customers.

The swindlers managed to escape from the spot on a motorcycle on which they came to the shop.

The Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), Jagdish Singh, said that a case under Sections 331 (4) and 305 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been registered against the swindlers.

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).
