Ambala, May 21

A 15-year-old boy died after he choked on a bottle cap while opening it, police said on Saturday.

The deceased was identified as Yash, a Class XI student and a resident of Defence Colony in Ambala Cantonment, they said.

On Friday night, Yash tried to open the cap of a soft drink bottle with his teeth after his sister could not open it. The cap got stuck in his windpipe, the police said.

Yash’s family members tried to get the cap out but in vain. He was taken to a hospital but he could not be saved, they said.

The body was handed over to his parents after a post-mortem examination, the police said.

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).
