A man taking a driving test for licence hit a bystander at Ladwa grain market.

Buta Singh of Ladwa, in his complaint, alleged that as it was raining, his younger brother Bhajan Singh had taken shelter under a shed of the Ladwa grain market.

Jagmohan, who was taking a driving test for licence, failed to control his car and hit Bhajan, dragging him to some distance and then ramming into a truck.

Bhajan was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, while Jagmohan fled the spot.

A case has been registered under Sections 279 and 304A of the IPC at Ladwa police station.

Ladwa SHO Rajpal said: “The case has been registered on the complaint of the deceased’s brother. The suspect is yet to be arrested.”

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).
