Chandigarh: Popli’s son Kartik, who allegedly committed suicide, was law graduate and wanted to join judicial services.

Sources said Kartik graduated in law from OP Jindal Global University, Sonepat, in 2019 and was preparing for the judicial services examination. He allegedly shot himself with his father’s pistol on the first floor of the house.

The sources said Kartik was disturbed after his father’s arrest on corruption charges. He used to meet his father while he was in Vigilance custody. He met his father today also and returned home a few minutes before the Vigilance sleuths arrived there.

Kartik reportedly went to the first floor and allegedly shot himself. His family alleged that the sleuths harassed him.

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).
