A 40-year-old woman was found dead inside her home in Delhi’s Tri Nagar early on Sunday. The police have arrested her husband for murder.

The police said a PCR call was received at Keshav Puram PS around 1.05 am on October 26, reporting that a woman had been found hanging at a house. They found the woman, identified as Sushma Sharma, lying dead inside a single-room accommodation. Her husband Dinesh Sharma, who works as a priest at a Shiva temple in Kanhaiya Nagar, confessed to killing her by pressing a pillow on her face and then strangling her following frequent domestic quarrels.

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).
