Chandigarh, April 14

Almost a week after a 19-year-old hotel management student committed suicide by hanging, the UT police booked his roommates for abetment to suicide.

The victim, a native of Delhi, who was staying at rented accommodation in Sector 41 along with other boys, took the extreme step after his friends and a girl reportedly recorded his video in which he was made to confess that he allegedly molested the girl while she was sleeping. The victim was made to apologise for the act.

The victim’s mother had alleged that her son’s roommates harassed him and drove him to suicide.

A case has been registered against the suspects at the Sector 39 police station.

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).
