Chandigarh, July 15

Three days after a youth was stabbed to death and another was left injured near the community centre at Vikas Nagar in Mauli Jagran, the UT police today arrested the friends of the injured youth for the murder.

Monty, a 26-year-old labourer, was found dead, while Vedpal (21) was found injured on the night of July 11. During investigation, the police discovered that Vedpal, along with his relatives and friends, had come to attend a wedding at the community centre.

Vedpal was consuming liquor. Monty on seeing him asked for some liquor and snacks. When Vedpal refused, Monty stabbed Vedpal. Before Monty could escape, Rinku and Vishal, Vedpal’s friends, caught him.

The police said the duo then allegedly stabbed Monty with the same knife, leading to his death.

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).
