A man and his nephew were allegedly assaulted by SUV-borne persons in Sector 17 here on Sunday evening.

According to eyewitnesses, the assailants rammed the motorcycle the victims were riding and hit both with sticks and rods. They reportedly abducted one of the victims and later abandoned him a short distance away. A police team from Sector 14 arrived at the scene shortly after being informed. An investigation is underway to identify the assailants and determine the motive behind the attack.

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).
