Chandigarh, January 28

The two suspects arrested by the Panchkula police for robbing a provision store at gunpoint in Fatehpur village, Sector 20, had also robbed the owner of a Western Union branch in the Sector 27 market, Chandigarh, in July last year.

The suspects – Rakesh Kumar and Indrajeet – had allegedly robbed Rs3 lakh at gunpoint from Sanjiv Kalia. Kalia had returned to his office after withdrawing Rs2.80 lakh from a bank in the same sector. The robbers entered Kalia’s office and looted the cash after threatening him. The robbers casually walked out of the office and fled from the spot.

A UT police official said the suspects would be brought on production warrant soon by the Chandigarh Police.

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).
