Popular TikTok sensation Siya Kakkar committed suicide on Thursday. She was just 16 and was famous for posting videos of lip-syncing and dancing on popular tracks. The suicide came as a shock as her manager Arjun Sarin had discussed a new song collaboration with Siya on Wednesday, just a day prior to her suicide. According to Arjun, she seemed happy and jovial.

In a statement, Arjun said, “This must be due to something personal. Work-wise she was doing well.”

Although the initial reports suggest that Siya was under depression, however, the exact reason for Siya’s death is still unknown. Her parents have apparently demanded a detailed police investigation.

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).
