Bike-borne assailants reportedly opened fire at a petrol pump in Gokulpuri on Friday, injuring one person. The incident occurred at Mukul Diesel Petrol Pump around 10.38 pm.

DCP (North East) Rakesh Paweriya said the injured, identified as Ansul Rathi, a supervisor at the petrol pump for six years, sustained glass shrapnel injuries in his abdomen. Rathi was immediately rushed to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital.

The complainant said four persons arrived on two motorcycles. One of the pillion riders fired 16 rounds at the office cabin. The attackers fled in different directions — one motorcycle headed towards Gokulpuri, while the other moved towards Loni Gol Chakkar. Petrol pump owner Harish Chaudhary said an old rivalry might be the motive behind the incident.

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).
