Patna: Three members of a family, including a woman, were killed by Maoists for allegedly acting as police informers in Jamui district of Bihar. Those killed were Bajrangi Koda, Shiv Koda and Mina Devi, all residents of Kumtari village. A leaflet left at the spot read: "Since they were passing information to the police about the movement of Maoists, they have been killed for their misdeeds." Jamui SP Jayant Kant said: "It appears they were killed using stones. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem." OC

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).
