Jalandhar, March 4

Three persons suffered injuries after being assaulted by five ‘drunk’ assailants during an altercation near the bus stand late last night.

Among those who suffered injuries were two brothers, who operate a kiosk adjacent to gate number 5 of the bus stand.

Vinod Kumar, owner of the kiosk, said a confrontation ensued when an auto-rickshaw driver approached him and started misbehaving. When he opposed, the driver summoned his associates.

He said the auto driver asked for a cigarette. He later started abusing him. When he objected, the suspect called his associates who attacked him.

When Vinod’s brother and son intervened, the assailants attacked them also. The suspects later fled the spot.

The police said the motive behind the clash was not clear yet. They were scrutinising CCTV footage of nearby establishments to identify the suspects.

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).
