Chandigarh, April 6

A pall of gloom descended on House No. 239, Sector 22A here after the death of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Sandeep Singh in a road accident in Ludhiana district on Friday midnight.

The 34-year-old ACP, and his 35-year-old gunner Paramjot Singh were charred to death after their SUV collided head-on with another car coming from the opposite side at Dayalpur bypass in Samrala. Sandeep, who was posted in Ludhiana East, was returning from Chandigarh. Sandeep, who hailed from Bathinda, had shifted to Chandigarh. He is survived by his parents, wife and a 1.5-year-old son. He did his schooling from Satulj Pubic School, Panchkula. He was cremated with full state honour at Sector 25 cremation grounds today. Top police officials from Punjab and Chandigarh attended the funeral.

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).
