Karnal, August 1
After a 16-year-old girl died under mysterious circumstances at Bhanpura village on July 25, the Kaithal Sadar police have registered a case against her father and two others.
Based on a complaint filed by Rekha, the mother of the deceased, the police have launched an investigation. Rekha claimed that she was killed by her husband Kirpal Singh, and two others, who immediately cremated her body in an attempt to cover up the crime.
The police suspect it to be a case of honour killing.
Kaithal SHO Rohtash Kumar confirmed that a case had been registered against Kirpal Singh and two others under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. “We are investigating the case from two angles — murder and suicide,” the SHO added.

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).
