Two liquor contractors were shot dead by a group of assailants at the Sangaria border in Dabwali subdivision of Sirsa district on Monday night.

The deceased have been identified as Mukesh Godara of Bharukhera village and Prakash Punia of Chautala village in Sirsa. The police said the contractors were at a liquor shop in Aachchi Dhani on Monday night when five or six assailants arrived on two motorcycles.

Police sources said the assailants fired nearly 30-35 rounds. They were rushed to a hospital where doctors declared them brought dead. Sources said the victims’ rivals could be behind the incident.

DSP Kuldeep Beniwal said a murder case was registered and the police had begun an 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).
