A constable of the Chandigarh Police was killed in a hit-and-run accident here today. The driver fled the scene in his BMW car after hitting the constable who was riding a bicycle.

The victim has been identified as Constable Anand Dev, who was posted in the communication wing.

The 32-year-old victim was riding his bicycle around 6:50 pm when the speeding BMW car hit him at the Sector 9-10 traffic lights near the Police Headquarters in Sector 9 in Chandigarh. The driver fled the scene in his car after hitting the cop.

The injured constable was rushed to the Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16, where the doctors declared him dead on arrival.

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).
