The Chandigarh Police has filed a third chargesheet against 38-year-old Monu Kumar in a murder case of a 55-year-old woman, whose body was found in the forest area of Sectors 54 and 55 in February. The chargesheet has been filed under Section 302 of IPC

The Police has earlier filed two chargesheets against the alleged serial killer in a rape and murder of two women in Chandigarh — an MBA student of Sector 38 (West) in 2010 and another woman in Maloya in 2022. The accused, a taxi driver and a resident of Shahpur Colony, Sector 38 (West) was arrested in May.

It said the DNA samples of the accused and the blood samples of the woman had been sent to the forensic lab. Once the reports come, the supplementary chargesheet will be filed. — TNS

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).
