Six unidentified armed bike-borne assailants, with their faces covered, opened fire at people at Bhabhiana village late on Wednesday night.

Four villagers sustained bullet injuries in the incident. The suspects, who came on two bikes, managed to flee after the incident.

Phagwara SP Rupinder Kaur Bhatti, along with SHO Sadar Amandeep Nahar, reached the spot. Senior Medical Officer Dr Lehimber Ram said the injured persons had been identified as Bittu (42), Jashanpreet Singh (19), Butta Ram (55) and Shinda (45), all residents of Bhabhiana village.

The suspects earlier attacked another person near Domeli village with sharp weapons this night. The victim, Tejinder (25), has been admitted to a hospital.

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).
