Chandigarh, January 14

People on the streets of Mangaluru were excited witnesses to a Bollywood-style police chase in real life.

Assistant Reserve Sub-Inspector (ARSI) Varun Alva chased Harish Poojary, a 32-year-old-man from Neermarga, through the lanes and bylanes of this coastal Karnataka city for having stolen a mobile.

A video of the incident is now viral. Police had seen three men stealing the phone of a daily wage from Rajasthan.

Police have two people, 20-year-old Shamanth from Attavar and Harish Poojary, in custody. The third suspect, identified as Rajesh, escaped.

Police Commissioner N Shashi said announced a cash reward of Rs 10,000 for the cop, Varun Alva.

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).
