The Panchkula police have arrested two individuals for allegedly committing six snatching incidents in the city this month, including three in a single day.

Those arrested have been identified as Kavi Bisht alias Ravi, a resident of Nainital, and Jitendra alias Honey, a resident of Hoshiarpur. The arrests were disclosed to the media at Secto -10 Police Post by ACP (Headquarters) Vikram Nehra and post incharge Gurpal Singh.

The police claimed the accused were drug addicts and used a bike and a scooter to commit snatchings. Previously, cases have been registered against them under various sections of IPC and Arms Act.

The police said the accused snatched purses, mobile phones, and jewellery from women in Sectors 4, 9, 11, 15 and 16. A 69-year-old woman was injured during an alleged snatching incident in Sector 9.

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).
