The police booked a man for the murder of his wife at Maloya today.

The deceased was identified as Priyanka and the accused as Ramesh (35).

The victim was taken to the GMSH-16 by her family members where they told the doctors that she accidentally wounded herself while cutting vegetables at home. The doctors declared her brought dead. However, discrepancies in the narrative raised a suspicion prompting the hospital authorities to alert the police.

Upon closer examination and preliminary findings, the police dismissed the claim of accidental injury. The woman’s father-in-law and the couple’s three children later admitted that the fatal wound was resultant of a fight between Ramesh and Priyanka.

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).
