A woman was injured and robbed in a chain-snatching incident on Baba Pir Chaudhary Road, Kapurthala, on Saturday.

Amanpreet Kaur, a boutique worker and resident of Baba Pir Chaudhary Road, was travelling with her sister Harpreet Kaur on a scooter (PB09-AH-3907) towards Thind Hospital. An unidentified man on a white scooter approached them.

The accused allegedly attacked Amanpreet on her shoulder with a sharp object two to three times before snatching a gold chain weighing about one tola from her neck. He then sped away towards Baba Deep Singh Nagar.

Harpreet Kaur, who was riding the scooter, attempted to chase the snatcher but he managed to escape.

The police have registered a case based on Amanpreet’s statement and launched an investigation.

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).
