Phagwara, January 27

A shopkeeper was shot at by two unidentified motorcyclists, police said on Friday.

Sanjay Sachdeva (34) was closing his shop in Ankhi Nagar when the incident occurred on Thursday night, SHO Amandeep Nahar said.

The victim was rushed to the civil hospital and was later referred to a private facility. His condition is said to be critical, he said.

The officer said it was not known if an old hostility was behind the incident or if the bikers had come with the intention to loot.

“We are scanning CCTV footage to identify the accused,” the SHO added.

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).
