Three men have been arrested for allegedly stabbing a youth to death following a scuffle over bursting firecrackers in Outer North Delhi’s Shahbad Dairy area in the early hours of Tuesday. The accused have been identified as Dheeraj (24), Akash alias Baba (24), and Tarun (22). A fourth suspect, Ajay, alias Ali, remains absconding. When police officers reached the spot, they found the victim lying on the street with a stab injury on the right side of his chest.

“The deceased was identified as Dileep. A preliminary inquiry revealed that he was beaten by three to four men, one of whom stabbed him outside his residence. His brothers, Deepak and Sandeep, were also assaulted during the altercation,” said DCP (Outer North) Hareshwar Swami.

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).
