A group of robbers on Tuesday looted Rs 5.78 lakh cash from a Canara Bank branch in Rewari Khera village, Bhiwani district, Haryana.

The masked youths were armed and opened fire to scare the bank staff and customers.

Three of them entered the bank and snatched the cash from the bank’s cash counter and rushed outside where the fourth accomplice was waiting in a car. The armed guard was not present in the bank at the time of the incident.

DSP Virender Singh rushed to the spot and began the investigation.

The bank official stated that the accused had snatched the cash on gunpoint and fled, the DSP said.

The incident occurred at around 11.30 and has been captured on the CCTV.

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).
