With the arrest of one person in a high-value theft case involving gold ornaments, coins and lakhs of rupees, the CIA-3 unit has claimed to have solved the case. The accused, arrested by CIA-3 from Meera Ghati Chowk, has been identified as Ashok Saini, a resident of Sector 16 in the city. He was apprehended with 11 tolas of stolen gold, one coin and Rs 11.5 lakh recovered from his possession, said Ajay Kumar, incharge CIA-3. He said the accused was working as a plumber at a reputed school for nearly eight years. On the night of August 28, he committed the theft by stealing gold jewellery and a large sum of cash from the school premises. A case was registered against him on August 29 at the city police station.

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).
