Following a verbal altercation, a 35-year-old man was killed in the Chabal township on Saturday night. The deceased has been identified as Surjit Singh of Gidgri Baghiari village.

The deceased was working at a flour mill owned by Dilbag Singh in Adda Chabal. He indulged in a verbal spat with Hardial Singh of Dode village, who had parked his car in front of the mill. Later, Hardial Singh attacked the deceased with a knife.

He was gravely injured in the attack and was admitted at a private hospital in Chabal, but was referred to another hospital in Amritsar, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Inspector Paramjit Singh, SHO Chabal Police, said a case has been registered under Section 103 (1) of the BNS against Hardial Singh, who is absconding.

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).
