In a shocking incident, a former employee has been accused of stealing Rs 5 lakh in cash from the 125-year-old Nathu Ram Lachman Dass Sweet Shop in Shimla.

The accused has been identified as Yograj, who previously worked at the shop. According to reports, the theft occurred on Sunday when Yograj allegedly sneaked into the premises and stole a box containing the cash.

The incident came to light when the shop’s cashier discovered the missing money and promptly approached the police to file a complaint.

Acting swiftly, the police launched an investigation and have initiated a manhunt to apprehend the accused. CCTV footage from the area is also being reviewed as part of the probe.

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).
