The police booked two domestic helpers for allegedly drugging an elderly couple and fleeing with gold ornaments from a Sector 88 house.

The complainant Shubham Goel, the elderly couple’s son, said the suspects, Deepak and his wife Kalpana, were employed by the family just a month ago. On the night of the incident, the complainant had left for a wedding around 9 pm. When he returned around 12 am, he found his parents lying unconscious and rushed them to a hospital.

On checking his belongings, he found that ornaments were stolen and the helpers missing. A case has been registered at the Sohana police station.

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).
