A 71-year-old woman ended her life by setting herself on fire over a property dispute. Her in-laws allegedly illegally grabbed her share of property. The police have booked seven persons on charges of abetment to suicide.

Those booked were identified as Balbir Singh, Suparna, Arshdeep Singh, Sukhpal Kaur, Ajit Singh, Sandeep Singh and Jagir Singh, all residents of the Gilwali Gate area.

Bhupinder Singh, a resident of the Lachhmansir Chowk area, said his sister was perturbed over harassment by her in-laws who allegedly grabbed her share of the property. The police said a case under Sections 108, 62 and 190 of the BNS was registered against suspects. Efforts were on to nab them, the police added.

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).
