A man, allegedly under the influence of liquor, poured petrol on his wife and set her on fire at their residence at Rampura village near here on Friday night.

Their young daughter also sustained burn injuries when she intervened in the matter.

The man later attempted self-immolation. The injured, Manoj and his wife Anita, are currently undergoing treatment at the PGIMS in Rohtak.

Some domestic dispute was believed to be the reason behind the incident. The police are probing the matter.

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).
