A migrant worker was killed over some minor issue in the posh Kennedy Avenue locality here last night.

The deceased was identified as Minku (40), who originally hailed from Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh. The accused was also identified as a migrant worker from UP, Sunil Kumar (35).

Assistant Commissioner of Police Maninderpal Singh said that the accused has been arrested and further probe was on.

According to information received, the duo used to work at a shop. Last night, they were drinking together when a quarrel erupted between the two. Sunil Kumar hit Minku with an iron rod in rage, leaving him critically injured. He died on the spot while the accused fled the scene.

The incident came to light in the morning. Following initial probe, the police arrested the suspect and registered a murder case against him.

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).
