Patiala, January 13

Mystery shrouds the death of a person who, allegedly died due to an accidental firing on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday in the Vidyanagar area, near Punjabi University. The police was informed that the deceased has been identified as Amarinder Singh (47), a resident of Alipur village.

The victim had gone to his friend’s place where his gun accidently fell on the floor and discharged, the police added.

The victim’s friend called an ambulance which, allegedly, took a bit longer to reach the spot. Consequently, the victim died while on way to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital declared the victim brought dead.

Statements of the victim’s family members had been recorded, the police said. A post-mortem of the deceased was conducted at the hospital, the police added.

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).
