Mohali, January 10

Four unidentified persons have been booked for assaulting and snatching a purse from a UT cop near the cricket stadium in New Chandigarh.

The incident happened around 9 pm on Friday when the victim, Harjinder Singh, a resident of Majri, was returning home from the UT police headquarter. As he reached near the Togan-Boothgarh main road, two bike-borne youths signalled him to stop and asked for direction. One of the youths then directed a spray into the cop’s eyes. In the meantime, two more youths came out of bushes and the four miscreants then assaulted the cop. They snatched his purse and fled the spot.

Mullanpur SHO Yogesh Kumar said, “On the victim’s statement, we have registered a case of snatching and assault against the four unidentified youths. We are scanning the CCTV footage of the area.” — TNS

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).
