Members of the Sector 109 family who allegedly ended their lives in an SUV were in distress over their only son, Abhay’s health. According to sources privy to the case details, Sandeep Singh and his wife Mandeep Kaur were under consulting doctors for their son’s treatment.

The police handed over the bodies to the next of kin after a post-mortem was conducted at the government hospital in Patiala. The couple and their 15-year-old son were found dead with gunshot injuries in their SUV near the Tepla road in Banur. The police suspect that Sandeep, a property consultant, allegedly shot his wife and son with his licensed pistol, before shooting himself.

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).
