Abohar/Sriganganagar, July 30

Some armed miscreants on Thursday night shot a petrol pump owner Sanjay Bhatia (50) outside his house in Mukherjee Nagar near Nehru Park in Sriganganagar and looted a bag that reportedly carried sale proceeds.

Preliminary probe indicated that Bhatia was outside his home when two bikers tried to take out the cash bag. As he resisted, one of the bikers shot at his forehead and fled.

Acase had been registered against unidentified persons.

All petrol pumps remained closed till 12 noon today in protest against the incident. 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).
