A Panjab University (PU) student died after the two-wheeler she was riding collided with a high-powered bike at Sector 15 here.

The victim was identified as Amrita Negi, a third-semester BA student at the Department of Evening Studies. The incident took place around 9:30 pm on Thursday on a stretch connecting a liquor vend and a petrol pump.

Police officials said a PCR team rushed severely injured victim to the GMSH, Sector 16, where doctors tried to stabilise her through the night. Amrita succumbed to her injuries on Friday evening.

The youth riding the motorcycle remained at the accident site and assisted in shifting her to the hospital. He has since been detained as investigators reconstruct the sequence of events and verify whether speeding or negligence played a role in the mishap.

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).
