Hisar, May 19

The police today arrested a youth in connection with the murder of a Sub-Inspector (SI) of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) at Uklana in Hisar district.

The accused, identified as Sandeep, had a criminal record and was involved in 14 criminal cases, said a police spokesperson.

The GRP booked five persons, including Sandeep, in connection with the murder of SI Manish Sharma on Monday evening.

The SI was shot at when he was on patrol near the railway tracks, where five youths were seated. When he enquired about their motive, the youths had a brawl with the RPF official and opened fire.

GRP SHO Pradeep said Sandeep was arrested, while co-accused Pawan, Sheela and Fauji and an unidentified person were absconding. — TNS

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).
