A 27-year-old man died in a suspected hit-and-run near the Sector 17 bus stand on Saturday morning.

The victim, Gaurav Sharma of Khuda Ali Sher, was heading towards his mobile repair shop in Sector 22 when the incident occurred. According to initial reports, an unidentified vehicle hit Gaurav’s e-scooter, hurling him several metres and causing him to crash into an iron grille.

The police have not ruled out the possibility that Gaurav may have lost control of his e-scooter, though a hit-and-run remains the primary line of inquiry.

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).
