Amritsar, April 27

A married woman, identified as Mandeep Kaur, allegedly committed suicide at Gaddaryada village falling under the Mattewal police station here. She was perturbed over alleged physical harassment by her husband, who is allegedly an addict.

Following statement of Sukhwinder Singh, victim’s father, the police have booked her husband Jatinder Singh of Kotla Saraf village in Batala on charges of abetment to suicide.

Sukhwinder Singh told the police that her daughter Mandeep Kaur was married to Jatinder Singh around 10 years ago. The couple had two children from the marriage. He alleged Jatinder used to thrash the victim under the influence of drugs. He used to harass his daughter and forced her to commit suicide.

ASI Kuldeep Singh said a case under Section 306 of IPC was registered in this connection and raids were on to arrest 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).
