Dera Bassi, June 4

Four unidentified persons robbed a Chandigarh resident of Rs1.20 lakh, gold and other belongings near here last night.

The complainant, Davinder Sharma, said he used to repair jewellery of goldsmiths of Punjab and Haryana and had gone to Paonta Sahib for work. He was returning with jewellery when the incident took place.

Sharma said at Ambala, he took a lift in an SUV going towards Chandigarh. Apart from the driver, there were three persons in the SUV.

Sharma stated that when they reached Dera Bassi around 9.30 pm, the driver took a turn towards the forest area near Dera Bassi. The suspects then threatened him and robbed cash, jewellery, an ATM card, a mobile phone and other documents before fleeing. —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).
