Zirakpur, January 23

The police have recovered a country-made pistol from one of the two suspects held in a theft of mobile phones worth Rs20 lakh from a shop in Baltana here recently.

The suspects have been identified as Sonu, a native of Uttar Pradesh, and Neeraj, alias Kaku, of Kishangarh. The third suspect is still at large.

The police recovered the weapon from Neeraj. It was hidden after digging the earth near the Dhakoli railway line.

As many as 105 mobile phones were stolen from a shop in the main market of Baltana. The suspects had loaded the stolen mobile phones in a cart before fleeing from the spot.

The police said 63 mobile phones, an LCD, a washing machine and Rs1.5 lakh had been recovered from the suspects. The suspects sold the remaining mobile phones. The suspects later fled to UP and purchased a country-made pistol. —

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).
