Hoshiarpur, January 4

Two unidentified robbers looted Rs3.15 lakh from a timber arhtiya at 5:30 am on Saturday. After getting information, the police reached the spot and started an investigation. According to sources, the police have detained some suspects for questioning.

The incident has been captured in CCTV cameras installed outside the victim’s house. According to information, Karan Gandhi, a resident of Bahadurpur area, told the police that as he walked out of his house to get his car from the garage, two robbers, who had probably hid near the house, thrashed him and snatched a bag containing money and escaped.

Inspector Kartar Singh from the city police station said a case under Section 379-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) had been registered in this regard. He said the culprits would be arrested soon.

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).
