A robber was injured by the bullet fired from his own double-barreled gun in a scuffle with a commuter.

The robbers, who were two in number, attempted to steal Manpreet Singh’s motorcycle on Saturday night. The victim, a resident of Punia village, was on way back to his village from the nearby Manavan village.

He was stopped by the motorbike-borne two armed robbers who came from

Valtoha side.

The robbers took the keys of Manpreet Singh’s motorcycle and the one sitting on the rear seat tried to shoot at Manpreet Singh with his gun. Both indulged in a scuffle. Meanwhile, the robber’s gun went off suddenly with the bullet hitting him in the foot.

Patti Sadar ASI Harwinderpal Singh visited the spot and recovered the double-barreled gun and an empty and live cartridge each.

A case has been registered against the robbers who have not been identified.

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).
