Chandigarh, March 6

A local court has sentenced 23-year-old Kapil, a resident of Chandigarh Sector 25, to seven years in jail in a robbery case. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict. The court acquitted another accused Aniket after the prosecution failed to prove charges against him.

The police registered an FIR on June 20, 2023 at Sector 34 police station here the basis of a complaint lodged by Amarjeet Pandey.

Pandey, a resident of Burail, said on June 20, 2023, two men fled away with all his belongings from Sectors 32/33 dividing road.

Yadvinder Singh Sandhu, advocate for Aniket, argued that the accused was falsely implicated in the case. After hearing arguments of both the sides, the court sentenced Kapil to seven years in jail and acquitted Aniket giving him benefit of doubt.

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).
