Hoshiarpur, August 27

Unidentified persons broke open an ATM using a gas cutter and decamped with Rs 17 lakh at Bham village, 23 km from here, police said on Saturday.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Daljit Singh Khakh said police were examining the footage of CCTV cameras installed at the ATM kiosk and its adjoining areas.

Assistant manager of Punjab National Bank (Bham branch), Jasvir Singh, said the incident took place at around 2.40am and the burglars, who came in a car, took away about Rs 17 lakh.

The exact number of burglars was yet to be ascertained, the police said.

A case was registered at Chabbewal police station, said Khakh.

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).
