Some unidentified masked persons opened fire at a car on Tuesday night, police said.

No one got injured in the accident, they said.

Eyewitnesses reported that several masked persons arrived in a car at a farmhouse in the Phallian Mandal area of the city and opened fire at another vehicle, they said. Those present at the farmhouse managed to escape to safety.

Before fleeing, the attackers also damaged the vehicle’s windows, the police said, adding that the incident may be related to rivalry over a land issue.

They ruled out involvement of any terror angle in this.

Arun Choudhary, who was at the farmhouse with two friends, recounted that six masked men arrived in an Alto car and fired four to five rounds at the vehicle.

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).
