A 30-year-old Wushu coach, identified as Jai Prakash, was hacked to death by unidentified persons at his home in Barhana village on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday. He lived there alone.

The exact reason behind the murder is yet to be ascertained while the kin suspect the involvement of some co-villagers in the crime. The police have started an investigation.

Vikas, brother of the deceased, said Jai Prakash had been a state and national-level player of Wushu. He had been training the youngsters in the game at the village stadium.

“We rushed to Jai Prakash’s house on getting information about an attack on him by someone at his house post 1 am. We called the ambulance and rushed him to the government healthcare centre in Dighal village where he was declared dead,” he added.

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).
