Chandigarh, July 23

A 20-year-old ragpicker has been arrested by the UT police for the thefts of vehicles and mobile phones. Seven motorcycles and five phones have been recovered from him.

A team, led by Sub Inspector (SI) Sudesh Kumar, who is in charge of Daria Police Post, nabbed the accused, identified as Pankaj, alias Karam (20), a resident of Mauli Jagran, while riding a stolen motorcycle at a naka near the cremation ground in Industrial Area.

He was produced before the court and the Judge sent him to one-day police remand.

His interrogation led to the recovery of six two-wheelers that were stolen from parts of the city and Panchkula. The mobile phones recovered from him were stolen from Zirakpur and Panchkula.

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).
