Ludhiana, March 23

A woman, Sandeep Kaur (31), died by suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan at her in-laws’ house in Ghumed village, Koomkalan.

The police booked her husband Jagdeep Singh, father-in-law Mukhtyar Singh and mother-in-law Paramjit Kaur on the charge of dowry death.

Complainant Harbans Singh of Begowal, Khanna, told the police that his daughter got married to Sandeep in December 2023. Soon after marriage, the suspects started harassing her for dowry.

On March 22, Sandeep called him and informed that her husband and in-laws were harassing her for dowry. She later went to her room and hanged herself to death.

ASI Gurmeet Singh said a case has been registered.

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).
