An elderly woman and her daughter-in-law were looted at their home in Sector 1, Rohtak, on Tuesday. CCTV footage showing two men walking away with a bag has surfaced and is being examined by police.

According to the complaint, the miscreants entered the house and allegedly tied the elderly woman, Kusum Gupta, to a chair. Then they went upstairs to the room of her

daughter-in-law, Sangeeta, and tied her hands.

The accused reportedly used a rod and a screwdriver to threaten the women before fleeing with cash, jewellery and an iPhone.

In a complaint lodged with the police, Sangeeta has expressed suspicion over their domestic help, Reema, who has been missing since the incident.

Police suspect she may be involved and are currently trying to trace her whereabouts.

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).
