According to the eyewitnesses’ accounts, he was hit by the speeding SUV bearing a Punjab-based registration. The driver, according to the some onlookers, lost control of the car and collided with Vishal near a farmers’ market.

The victim was rushed to the hospital, but succumbed to his injuries.

The police has registered a case under Sections 106, 281 and 324 (4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against Sumit, the car driver, at the Sector 5 police station.

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).
