A rape accused reportedly committed suicide by jumping before a canter on Gurugram road when he was being taken to the district jail by the cops in Dulina village on Sunday.

The deceased, identified as Baljeet of Bhiwani, was arrested in Bahadurgarh town on Sunday.

“The incident took place in the afternoon when the police were taking Baljeet to the district jail after producing him at a local court. He got down from the vehicle on the pretext of urinating. Then, as of sudden, he jumped before a canter on the road and died on the spot,” said Ajaib Singh, DSP, Bahadurgarh.

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).
