Bathinda, October 28

A shopkeeper was shot dead outside his shop here by two unidentified persons on Saturday evening, police said.

Harjinder Singh Johal (53) was sitting outside his shop at Mall road here when the duo came on a motorbike and fired at him, they added.

Johal was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, the police said. A purported CCTV footage of the incident also went viral on social media.

The police said an investigation has been launched and they are scanning the CCTV footage of nearby areas to trace the accused.

Meanwhile, local shopkeepers held a protest against the killing of Johal and demanded strict action against the offenders.

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).
