Panipat, December 27

The police have booked five persons, including a woman, for looting and murdering a loan recovery officer here.

The deceased was identified as Aslam (27) of Sabit Nagar in Nekpur village of Ghaziabad district. He was working as loan recovery officer in Bandhan Bank in Model Town.

On Wednesday, Aslam’s burnt body was found near a drain on the Kutani road. He was missing for four days.

On December 23, he went to collect loan recovery amount from a woman but didn’t return. The bank manager lodged a missing complaint and started searching Aslam.

Later, the police detained a woman, Sunita, of Bharat Nagar.

A case has been registered under Sections 396, 302, 201 and 34 against the five accused. Sunita had been arrested while the four others are on the run.

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).
