Amritsar, November 1

A cop suffered injuries on his leg after the carbine he was carrying went off accidentally. The incident took place outside the residence of former Durgiana Temple Management Committee’s president Ramesh Sharma. The cop was deputed in his security.

His colleagues and residents of the area took him to a hospital. The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras.

The incident took place while he was parking his bike. When he returned after parking the bike, the carbine went off accidentally, which hit his left leg. He immediately fell on the road.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Gurpartap Singh Sahota and SHO of the A Division Gagandeep Singh reached the spot.

Sahota said the police scanned the CCTV footage and found that it was an accident. He said the victim’s condition was stable.

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).
