Bathinda, June 13

A local leader of the Shiromani Aklai Dal was allegedly wounded gravely in a shooting in Bathinda’s Mansa Khurd village on Saturday, police said.

The victim, Bhola Singh Mann, had been returning home from his fields when a car stopped near him and two people he identified as Bakshish Singh and Guninder Singh shot him more than once. They allegedly drove away after the shooting.

A wounded Mann called his family, who took him to Bathinda civil hospital.

Senior Inspector Gurpreet Singh, the investigation officer in the case, said police had booked the two people the victim had named for attempt to murder and were now looking for the suspects.

Mann claimed a local Congress leader was behind the attack.

“During Lok Sabha elections, I had posted a video against one Congress MLA on the Facebook,” he said.

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).
