Phagwara police have arrested three members of a gang involved in a snatching incident in Raja Garden Colony on December 22. The arrests led to the recovery of stolen items, including a gold chain, a motorcycle, and weapons.

Phagwara SP Rupinder Kaur Bhatti identified the accused as Madhur Maggu, alias Nannu, a resident of Mohalla Beda in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar; Gurpreet Singh, alias Gaurav, a resident of Alachaur; and Aftab, alias Saurav, who resides on Shamshanghat Road in Phagwara.

The incident occurred when Harjit Kaur, a resident of Raja Garden Colony, was sitting outside her neighbour Saroj Bangar’s house. Two motorcycle-borne men approached her, brandished a sharp weapon, and snatched her gold chain before fleeing. A case was registered based on her complaint.

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).
