Phagwara, November 21

In yet another case of a driver being robbed of his vehicle, four unidentified armed robbers booked an Uber taxi for Kharar from Mohali through the company’s app on Sunday and robbed the driver of the vehicle on the way.

The victim, Jaspreet Singh, a resident of Jhaspur village in Fatehgarh district, told the police that the accused booked the taxi for Kharar; but after reaching there, they asked him at gunpoint to drive towards Phagwara. When they reached near Phagwara, the accused snatched his two mobilephones and Rs 4,000 and threw him out from the taxi and fled the spot with the vehicle.

A case under Section 379-B (2) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Arms Act has been registered in this connection with the Phagwara police.

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).
