Two days after a jeweller was shot at and robbed in Zira, the police have arrested two of the three persons allegedly involved in the incident.

The suspects were identified as Harjit Singh, alias Jeetu, and Sanmukh Singh, alias Sunny, both from Patti in Tarn Taran district.

SSP Bhupinder Singh said sleuths of the Crime Investigation Agency, Anti Gangster Task Force and the Zira police had received inputs about the suspects following which a special naka was laid. “The accused, who were riding a bike used in the crime, opened fire on seeing cops. The police returned fire. One of the bullets hit Harjit in a leg. Sanmukh got injured as he fell off the bike,” he said.

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).
