Four men allegedly looted over Rs 1 crore from Dera Baba Jeewan Singh here on Monday night.

The dera headed by Jagtar Singh is located on the outskirts of the town on Goindwal Sahib road.

They injured dera cashier Mohinder Singh before decamping with the money.

Dera sewadar Bakshish Singh, who was on duty at the dera, in his complaint to police, said the robbers came at about 10.45 pm. They gained entry into the dera on the pretext of meeting the cashier about a patient admitted at the hospital run by the dera.

The robbers went straight to the cashier’s room and bolted the door from inside as Bakhshish waited outside.

The police have registered a case.

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).
