Chandigarh, May 25

Almost a week after a ragpicker was bludgeoned to death, another victim, also a ragpicker, succumbed to his injuries. He has been identified as Kishori. On May 19, a ragpicker, Manoj, alias Panda, was found dead in Sector 38, while another, Kishori, was found seriously injured.

During the investigation, the suspect, Raju (43), a resident of Maloya, was arrested. He had an altercation with the victims, following which he killed them.

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).
