Chandigarh, April 21

A thief, who is already facing several cases, has again been arrested for burglary at a house in Sector 38 (West).

The police said Bhagwati Joshi had reported that Rs 60,000 in cash and gold-diamond jewellery worth several lakhs were stolen from his house. A case was registered at the Maloya police station.

During investigation, a team, led by Inspector Satnam Singh, nabbed Divesh Sharma, a native of Himachal Pradesh, and recovered the stolen jewellery from his possession. Divesh was earlier arrested by a team of the Maloya police station in December 2021 for bicycle thefts. A total 13 bicycles were recovered from his possession. During police remand, he fled the lock-up of the Sector 39 police station. However, he was rearrested two days after. He had also been booked in two theft cases registered last year.

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).
