Nakodar, November 8

Twenty years on, the Nakodar city police are yet to arrest three suspects in the murder case of a local jeweller, Mimik.

Janak Raj, who used to work at a jewellery shop run by the grandfather of the victim in the Sarafan Bazar, and his two Rajesh and Sonu were declared proclaimed offenders (POs).

The trial court has, however, acquitted another suspect in the case. The case dates back to January 2022, when Janak had a scuffle with Mimik and his father. Janak and his accomplices later attacked the father-son duo with some sharp-edged weapons. Mimik was declared brought dead at a hospital.

Harjinder Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Nakodar, has admitted that the police have failed to nab others accused in the case.

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).
