A thief broke a window of a car parked outside an eatery on GT Road near Phagwara, making off with cash and valuables worth lakhs of rupees.

The victim, Sandeep Singh, a resident of Kolgarh village in Nawanshahr district, stated that he was returning from Jalandhar after purchasing medicine. He stopped at Lucky Dhaba near Phagwara to have a meal, parking his car outside. A person smashed the car window and stole Rs 1.5 lakh and gold jewellery from the vehicle.

Sandeep Singh, an NRI who had come to India from Italy for treatment, said while he was returning from the hospital with his medical reports, he stopped at the dhaba for a meal, during which the theft occurred. He reported the loss of around Rs 2.5 to 3 lakh.

The police have been informed and CCTV footage reportedly shows a young man near the car.

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).
