Zirakpur, April 6

A 35-year-old man committed suicide by jumping in front of a train near Dhakoli last night.

The deceased has been identified as Deepak Mahgi, a resident of Vrindavan Garden, Peer Muchalla. He was working as a property dealer. Railway officials saw the body this morning and informed the railway police about it.

The police also found his car parked nearby. A liquor bottle was also recovered from the car.

Deepak’s wife said he was mentally distressed for the past some time. He was missing since Monday morning.

Rajinder Singh, ASI, Railway Police, said: “Statement of the victim’s kin was recorded under Section 174 of the CrPC. The body has been handed over to the family members after post-mortem examination.”

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).
