A 19-year-old boy has been arrested in a snatching case.

The accused was identified as Hariom Pandey, a resident of Ambedkar Colony, Dhanas.

In a complaint to the police, Dharam Singh of Togan village in Mohali stated that he was waiting at a bus stop near the CAP Complex in Dhanas on Wednesday when an unknown person snatched his bag containing Rs 20,000, a bank account copy and two cheque books before fleeing.

A case was registered at the Sarangpur police station. During investigation, the police nabbed the accused today. The bag containing Rs 18,000 and documents was recovered from him.

The accused was produced in a court, which remanded him in judicial custody. He has no criminal history, said the police.

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).
