Mohali, November 29

A 45-year-old man allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his house in Kansal village. The deceased has been identified as Celestin Tirkey, a native of Jharkhand.

According to the police, he was under stress following job loss due to the pandemic. No suicide note was found from the spot.

“He was staying in a rented accommodation with his wife and children. Last night, he had dinner and went to sleep alone in a room. His wife found the room bolted from inside this morning. On seeing through a window, she found him hanging from the ceiling fan with the help of a dupatta,” said ASI Ramesh Lal, the investigating officer.

The postmortem will be conducted tomorrow. His body was sent to the mortuary at the Civil Hospital, Kharar. The Nayagaon police have initiated inquest proceedings. —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).
