Chandigarh, June 15

Sukhmanpreet Singh Sidhu, aka Sippy Sidhu, was shot dead on September 20, 2015 at a park in Sector 27 of Chandigarh.

A .12-bore gun was used in the crime.

Before leaving his home on the fateful day, 34-year-old lawyer had reportedly told his mother that he was going to meet his female friend.

Before the case got transferred to CBI, the Chandigarh police had questioned Sippy’s several friends, including judge’s daughter who was quizzed twice in connect with the murder case.

Later in 2016, CBI took over the investigation and registered a fresh FIR in the case.

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).
