Mohali, January 17

A 30-year-old man reportedly jumped to death from the fourth floor of Tower 2 of Skylark Enclave, Kharar, this morning.

The victim, Simranjit Singh, a resident of Gurdaspur, had come to his friend’s accommodation last night around 10 pm. He was reported to have been under stress due to the refusal of visa to a foreign country twice. He was unemployed.

He is survived by his mother. His friend Parambir Singh said he informed the PCR and a police team reached the spot around 30 minutes later. They took Simranjit to the Kharar subdivisional hospital where the doctors declared him dead. The body has been kept in the mortuary of the Kharar hospital.

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).
