A man has been arrested in connection with the death of his wife, who allegedly died by suicide due to dowry harassment. The accused, Suraj (27), was taken into custody following the death of his wife, Bharti, whose body was found hanging at their home on December 4.

The police said Bharti’s father, Fatehpal accused Suraj and his family of harassing his daughter over dowry demands. He alleged Bharti was subjected to abuse by her in-laws, who insisted on a dowry of Rs 50 lakh and a car as part of her marriage.

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).
