A Gurugram court has sentenced two men to five years in prison for snatching a mobile phone in June 2023. Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Chauhan also imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on

each convict.

According to police, the two men, riding a scooter, snatched the phone from a victim on June 11 in the Rajendra Park area. Following the victim’s complaint, an FIR was lodged at the Rajendra Park police station and the investigation began.

Police officials said they arrested Suraj Kumar and Vipin Kumar, both residents of Samastipur, Bihar. The police added they gathered strong evidence and testimonies from witnesses, which were presented in court.

Based on this evidence, Judge Chauhan convicted the two men and sentenced them to five years in prison. They were also ordered to pay a fine of Rs 25,000 each.

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).
