Three Indian workers grievously attacked their sponsor in Sharjah, robbed him of 4-kg gold biscuits before fleeing to Mumbai, according to a media report. The 57-year-old Bangladeshi sponsor, SD, is now battling for his life in hospital, the Gulf News reported. The crime was meticulously planned at SD’s gold shop in Al Mareija, the police said.

The Indian workers caught a flight to India within an hour of the attack, the report said. Along with the gold, the workers, for whom an arrest warrant was issued and Interpol informed, picked up their passports from SD’s locker. The victim was spotted by his son Shishir Das. — PTI

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).
