Two people allegedly robbed Rs 12.50 lakh from a bank at gunpoint in Rajasthan’s Bikaner on Monday, police said.

The accused also shot at the bank manager, who received injuries, police said.

“The accused entered a branch of Rajasthan Marudhara Rural Bank in the Mukta Prasad colony and opened fire. They looted Rs 12.50 lakh in cash,” Naya Shahar police station in-charge Govind Singh Charan said.

He said the bank manager, who received bullet injuries, was admitted to the PBM government hospital and he is out of danger.

Efforts are being made to identify the accused, who had worn masks, he added. — PTI

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).
