A Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.Ed) student at Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) reportedly shot himself with a sports gun on the campus on Tuesday.

The student, identified as Sumit, was rushed to the trauma centre at PGIMS, where his condition remains critical. The motive behind the incident is still unknown and the police have launched an investigation. No case had been registered at the time of reporting.

“We received information around 1 pm that a student shot himself in the History Department block at the MDU. The investigation is ongoing,” said DSP Gulab Singh, speaking at the PGIMS.

Prof Rajesh Punia, Proctor at MDU, said the History Department staff immediately informed the police. Forensic experts also examined the scene and a sports gun was recovered from the spot.

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).
