Fatehgarh Sahib, September 13

The body of a student of BSC-Radiology (third semester) belonging to Budgam in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) was found hanging from a solar panel installed on the terrace of a hostel at RIMT University, Mandi Gobindgarh, today. He has been identified as Umar Ahmed Dev (21).

Officials of the university said it was a case of suicide. However, his roommates believed otherwise. The police are investigating the matter.

Manjeet Singh, Fatehgarh Sahib Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the police recovered a suicide note from the student’s pocket in which he has mentioned that no one should be held responsible and harassed for his death.

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).
