Chandigarh, March 23

The police have booked four officials of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on the charge of abetment of suicide after a technician reportedly died by suicide at the Defence Geoinformatics Research Establishment (DGRE) building in Sector 37.

Jaswinder Singh had jumped to death on March 21 and left a note blaming his senior officers for the extreme step. Those booked were Sudhir, Anurag, Harpal Singh and Akhsay Jain.

A case under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC has been registered on a complaint filed by the victim’s brother, Bhupinder Singh, at the Sector 39 police station.

The police will send the suicide note to the CFSL, Sector 36, for a forensic examination.

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).
