A 43-year-old man, who was a key witness in his wife’s murder case, was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne assailants outside a court complex in Haryana’s Sonepat on Friday, police said.

Ved Prakash, a resident of Mukinpur village in Sonepat, was going to attend the hearing in his wife’s murder case when the bike-borne men shot him thrice and fled, they said.

“He was taken to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead,” Sonepat Additional Superintendent of Police Nikita Khattar said over the phone.

She said the incident took place outside the court complex.

Ved Prakash’s wife was murdered last year.

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).
