Five bike-borne men robbed around 23 kg of gold and Rs 10 lakh cash at gunpoint from a finance company’s branch in Rajasthan’s Udaipur on Monday, police said.

The incident happened at Manappuram Finance, which provides gold loan services, on the Sundarwas road, they said.

According to a complaint filed by the bank officials, about 23 kg gold and Rs 10 lakh cash was robbed, Superintendent of Police (Udaipur) Vikas Sharma said.

A video of the incident captured by the bank’s CCTV camera shows two robbers thrashing bank officials at gunpoint, police said.

Later, the bank officials informed police about the incident, they said.

The SP said that barricading has been done on city borders to nab the accused.

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).
