The Gurugram police have arrested two persons for extorting money from e-rickshaw drivers. Officials have recovered Rs 7,500 in cash and two needles from them.

According to the police, the accused were identified as Babli, alias Bobby, and Deepak, alias DT, both residents of Nathupur village.

The police said they had received a complaint, stating that some people were extorting money from e-rickshaw drivers near the metro station, and if the drivers refused to give them money, they would beat them up and puncture the tyres of their vehicles.

“An FIR was registered , following which the accused were arrested,” said a spokesperson for the Gurugram police.

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).
