Fatehgarh Sahib, July 1

The police have arrested three ‘contract employees’ posted at the Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib for allegedly looting wine shops and ATMs.

Police officials said during preliminary interrogation, the suspects said they were part of a gang involved in thefts at wine shops and ATMs.

Sources said their accomplices had been arrested by the Patiala Police and would be brought on production warrant.

A few days ago, an FIR was registered on a complaint by Surinder Kumar, a salesman at Tinku wine shop, Sirhind. He had claimed two bike-borne youths took away the cash box containing around Rs 40,000. The complainant read a part of bike’s registration plate and the police later nabbed three suspects. — OC

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).
