Two robbers allegedly looted Rs 2.65 lakh from an employee of a micro finance company at gunpoint in Goniana Mandi on Monday.

The victim, Ajay Kumar, had collected cash from investors and was on his way to deposit the money when the incident took place. As he reached near Sadhu Singh Wali Street, two masked motorcycle-borne men, pointed a gun at him and snatched a bag containing cash.

Meanwhile, a video clip of the alleged robbery has gone viral where the accused can be seen with a weapon and fleeing away with a bag.

The police have registered a case against unidentified persons under relevant sections of the IPC.

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).
