Two personnel of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) were killed and as many injured after their colleague opened fire at them in Chhattisgarh’s Balrampur district on Wednesday.

The incident took place around 11 am in the camp of the 'B' company of CAF's 11th battalion in Bhutahi Mod area, IGP Ankit Garg said. Constable Ajay Sidar fired at his colleagues with his service weapon, an Insas rifle. While a constable, Rupesh Patel, died on the spot, another constable, Sandip Pandey, succumbed to his injuries while being taken to the hospital. Two injured personnel — Ambuj Shukla and Rahul Baghel — were admitted to a health centre in Kusmi.

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).
