A 15-year-old girl was shot dead by her alleged lover in Northwest Delhi’s Jahangirpuri, police said on Monday.

Initial investigation revealed that the girl, identified as Sumbul, had gone to a market with her friend to buy snacks. Around 8:10 pm, Aryan, who is said to be Sumbul’s alleged lover, arrived there with one of his friends and shot her multiple times in front of a clinic in the area’s D Block.

The teenager was rushed to a local hospital, where doctors declared her dead. The victim’s body has been preserved at the hospital for the post-mortem examination.

The police have registered a case against the accused and further investigation is underway.

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).
