Amritsar, October 6

The police have booked daughter-in-law of a woman for abetment to suicide.

The deceased has been identified as Amarjit Kaur (52), a resident of Shamnagar village, falling under Majitha police station.

Harwant Singh, husband of the deceased told the police that his younger daughter-in-law often used to quarrel with them. He said as a result, Amarjit had threatened to end her life a number of times.

He said on Monday when he went to on his job, he received a call from his elder daughter-in-law that Amarjit had consumed some poisonous substance after a quarrel.

The police have booked the accused under Section 306 of the IPC.

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).
