New Delhi, June 16

A 34-year-old property dealer was shot dead in the Usmanpur area of northeast Delhi, police on Sunday said.

The family of the victim, Vicky, mounted a roadblock by placing his body on a road in protest against the killing. The blockade lasted for two hours.

His younger brother, Sanjay, too was murdered on March 26, police said.

“Sanjay was shot dead. Three people were arrested in connection with the killing. His elder brother Vicky was shot dead Saturday night when he was returning home on his scooter,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Joy Tirkey said.

The officer said a few people chased Vicky on a motorcycle in Usmanpur’s Shanti mohalla area and fired three shots.

“One round hit Vicky in the back of his head and led to his death. Three empty rounds were found on the spot,” the DCP said, adding, police suspect an old enmity behind the murder.

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).
