The Bathinda police on Friday arrested the six men accused of the recent robbery at Bhucho following a brief encounter and seized an AK-47 rifle used in the crime.

SP City Narinder Singh said two of them were armymen and they had stolen the AK-47 rifle used in the crime from their unit.

The accused had looted around Rs 8,000 in cash and five mobile phones at gunpoint from near Bhucho. Acting on intelligence that the suspects were spotted at Bhucho, police started a search operation, he added.

Police identified a suspicious vehicle with the Bathinda registration number. As it was intercepted, one of the accused opened fire from the AK-47 rifle.

In retaliatory firing, Satnam Singh was injured. He was taken to the hospital. The remaining five gang members were arrested.

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).
