Singer and actress Vijay Lakshmi, better known by her stage name Malika Rajput, was discovered dead under suspicious circumstances at her home in Kotwali Nagar of Uttar Pradesh’s Sultanpur district. Malika’s lifeless body was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her room late on Tuesday.

Sumitra Singh, Malika’s mother, said that the room’s door was closed and the light was on. “When I entered the room, I saw that our daughter was hanging. I called my husband and others but she was no more.” Police officer Shriram Pandey indicated that prima facie, the incident appears to be a case of suicide.

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).
