A 40-year-old two-wheeler mechanic died after being electrocuted near the Kesar T-Point in West Delhi’s Kirti Nagar on Sunday night, the police said. The deceased has been identified as Pawan Yadav.

According to the police, Yadav, who was passing through the area, slipped on a rain-soaked patch of the road around 9.40 pm. In the process, his hand touched an electric pole. As a result, he received a severe electric shock.

He was rushed to ABG Hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival. The police said further investigation was on into the matter.

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).
