A constable of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) allegedly shot dead his senior colleague with his service weapon in Chhattisgarh's Raipur district on Monday, police said.

The incident occurred at the camp of ITBP's 38th battalion under the Kharora police station limits in the morning, said Lal Umed Singh, Raipur senior superintendent of police.

As per preliminary information, constable Saroj Kumar allegedly opened fire at assistant sub-inspector Devender Singh Dahiya with his service weapon, killing him, he said.

The official said a police team was rushed to the spot after being alerted.

The exact reason behind the shooting is yet to be ascertained, he added.

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).
