According to preliminary reports, the accused arrived at the spot in a car and held the night watchman, Bahadur, at gunpoint. They then broke open the shutter of Singh Jewellers, owned by Ajay Kumar, and escaped with the shop’s main safe.

Ajay Kumar said the robbers decamped with 50 gm of gold ornaments and 20 kg of silver, making it one of the biggest robberies in the area in recent times. DSP Deepkaran Singh, along with a team from the City police station, rushed to the spot and launched an investigation.

“We are looking into the footage CCTV cameras in the area to trace the movement of the suspects,” said the DSP.

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).
