Batala, May 1

Baba Balwinder Singh Khalsa, a nephew of Kartar Singh Bhindranwala, who at one time headed the Damdami Taksal as its Jathedar, was found murdered last night. His sewadar Ramandeep Singh committed the crime at Khalsa’s native village Atwal, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Sri-Hargobindpur police station of Batala police district.

Police sources say an FIR under Section 302 of the IPC has been registered at the Sri-Hargobindpur police station. “A manhunt has been launched to arrest the accused. He was done to death by a sharp-edged weapon. We are investigating the matter. The accused had no links to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala as was being said by some people,” said an officer.

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).
