The Meharban police have registered a case against a person and his 16 unknown companions who assaulted and tried to rob a family travelling in a car.

Investigating Officer ASI Joginder Pal said Sabin Soni, a resident of Bathinda, filed a complaint that he was heading towards his hometown with his family. He said he forgot the way and went towards Mattewara forest. Soni added that a person threw his bicycle on the road near Garhi Togarh village and when he asked him to pick his bicycle, the accused thrashed him and called his 16 other companions who came on tractor, JCB machine and a commercial vehicle. He said all accused thrashed him with an intention of looting and fled from the spot after he raised an alarm. The Investigating Officer said they had registered a case against accused Bikar Singh Vicky and his 16 unknown companions.

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).
