Faridabad, March 1

The driver of a scooter had a miraculous escape after his two-wheeler was dragged by an anti-smog gun truck of the Municipal Corporation (MC), Faridabad here today evening. The police have rounded up the accused for interrogation.

The incident took place around 4 pm on the main dividing road of Sector 15 and 15A when a local resident, identified as Dharamvir, had parked his scooter on the side of the road to talk to someone on his mobile phone while standing on the footpath. It was then that the anti-smog truck hit the scooter from behind and dragged it for more than 200m, before Dharamvir and other locals stopped the truck and informed the police.

The accused driver, identified as Om Prakash, was allegedly under the influence of liquor at that time, and has been booked.

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).
