Hoshiarpur, April 25

Two unidentified robbers looted Rs 50,000 from Swami Pushpinder Swaroop, a resident of Mishar Kutia in Suraj Nagar locality, on the outskirts of the city on Thursday night. The miscreants reportedly injured him.

Swami Pushpinder Swaroop said when he was alone at the ashram, two unknown persons entered it. One of them seemed to be mentally disturbed. Coming in, they covered his face with a cloth and a bag. When he resisted them, they hit him on the head and face with a knife. One of them held him hostage while the other took Rs 50,000 from the cupboard lying nearby.

After they left, he raised an alarm and his neighbours Rmeshwar and Sanjeev Talwar took him to the hospital, from where he was discharged after treatment. A case has been registered. — OC

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).
