The police have arrested the husband of a woman from Maloya, who was declared brought dead at a city hospital on May 28, on the murder charge.

The 34-year-old suspect, Ramesh, a painter by profession, was booked under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Maloya police station. The incident had come to light when the GMSH-16 reported to the police that a woman, identified as 25-year-old Pinky Devi, was brought dead to the hospital.

The victim’s children, aged 10 and 7, and her father-in-law revealed that she had been stabbed in the stomach by her husband Ramesh following a domestic dispute.

Ramesh, who had fled after the assault, was nabbed on Thursday and produced in court, which remanded him in judicial custody.

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).
