Nearly 24 hours after a daring robbery took place at the HDFC Bank branch in Rihana Jattan village, Phagwara Sub-Division, the police have yet to make a significant breakthrough in the case. The robbers, who fled with Rs 38,34,900 in cash on Friday afternoon, remain unidentified and at large, raising concerns about law enforcement’s progress in what is being considered one of the most high-profile bank heists in the region in recent months.

SSP Gaurav Toora, who visited the scene soon after the incident along with SP Rupinder Kaur Bhatti and DSP Bharat Bhushan, confirmed that multiple police teams have been deployed to trace the culprits. However, as of Saturday morning, no arrests have been made and no concrete clues have emerged. “The investigation is going on,” said SSP Toora.

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).
