Chandigarh, August 29

A dismissed Punjab Police constable has been arrested by for stealing a mobile phone of a motorcyclist from whom he had taken a lift.

Complainant Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Sector 38 West, claimed the suspect asked him for a lift at the Sector 31/32 light point while he was on his way to office in Mohali on Sunday. The complainant dropped the suspect near the road separating Sectors 48-49.

On reaching his office, the complainant found his mobile phone kept in the bag missing. A case was registered at the Sector 31 police station. Lovepreet Singh, a resident of Gurdaspur, was arrested. The police said the accused was a habitual offender.

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).
