A 72-year-old man was allegedly shot at by his grandson following a property dispute in Central Delhi’s Turkman Gate area on Tuesday.

The victim, identified as Shahbuddin, was injured during a heated argument with his family members. Preliminary investigations revealed that Shahbuddin, his son, and grandsons had been embroiled in a long-standing dispute over ancestral property, which turned violent.

The police said one of the grandsons allegedly opened fire at Shahbuddin, injuring him. He was taken to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital, where doctors reported that his condition is stable.

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).
