A security guard was found dead near the basement of an under-construction showroom at Chandigarh-Ambala National Highway in Zirakpur this morning. The deceased has been identified as 52-year-old Sunil.

Upon receiving the information, the police team reached the spot and began an investigation.

A forensic team has collected samples from the spot but the police remained tightlipped over whether the person sustained injuries due to falling from the building or were they probing a murder angle. Several persons working nearby, meanwhile, have been questioned in this regard.

The police are also scanning through the CCTV footage recovered from the area.

The deceased was last seen on Friday evening when he had come to the site for his evening shift.

The body has been kept in the mortuary at the Dera Bassi Civil Hospital.

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).
