Rohtak, May 25

Police officials investigating the case involving the suspicious death of a young woman, Divya, at Rithal village in this district have taken her DNA samples to ascertain her identity.

“Her body had got burnt till we reached the village. The DNA samples of her bones will be matched with the samples of her parents,” said Dr Ravinder, DSP (HQ). A digital video recorder containing CCTV footage of the woman’s house is also being examined. An FIR has been registered against her father Rajender and other family members. “Honour” killing is being suspected.

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).
