Amritsar, August 30

The Amritsar (Rural) police have arrested a Nihang Sikh who killed his neighbour over trivial issue within 12 hours of the incident.

DSP Lakhwinder Singh said the suspect identified as Sukhdev Singh had beaten a youth identified as Malkeet Singh to death. The suspect lived in the neighbourhood of the deceased.

Malkeet was beaten to death by Sukhdev over an old dispute in Jahangir village falling under the Kamboh police station here on Wednesday night. The victim was alone at home when the suspect entered the former’s house by scaling the boundary wall and brutally thrashed him. The victim was the only son of the family.

A case was registered under relevant sections of the BNS against the suspect in this connection.

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).
