A family in Shahdara left their servant at home while they travelled to Gurugram to celebrate Holi, only to return and discover their house ransacked and valuables worth Rs 1 crore stolen, an official said on Monday.

Two people — servant Nagarjun and his associate Rohit Kumar Malik (29), both residents of Odisha’s Balasore — had been arrested, he added.

“On March 14, complainant Sanjay Gupta and his family left for Gurugram to celebrate Holi, leaving their servant at their residence,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam said.

When they returned the next afternoon, they found the house ransacked, with all locks broken and valuables missing. Nagarjun fled with Rs 6 lakh in cash, diamond and gold jewellery pieces and the family’s scooter. It was discovered that no police verification had been conducted for the servant.

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).
