Chandigarh, January 12

Thief’s hunger to eat was more than his hunger to steal. In a bizarre case, a burglar stopped to cook khichdi in the middle of a theft and was arrested.

The Assam Police took to Twitter on Tuesday to share details of the incident, revealing that the thief was arrested by the police in Guwahati.

“The curious case of a cereal burglar!” wrote Assam Police on Twitter.

“Despite its many health benefits, turns out, cooking Khichdi during a burglary attempt can be injurious to your well being. “The burglar has been arrested and Guwahati Police is serving him some hot meals.”

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).
