A man died in a tragic electrocution incident during a fishing trip at Gamberpul on the Kunihar-Subathu road last evening.

Pratap Singh Rana of Shimla reported to the Dharampur police that his friend Sher Singh Rana was killed near Dhar Seri village while fishing in Gamberpul khud. Along with two other friends, Yuvraj and Premchand, the group had gone fishing and allegedly asked a local resident to supply electricity via a loose wire from his home to aid the activity.

After fishing, Sher Singh Rana attempted to collect the wire but accidentally touched a live point and was electrocuted instantly.

The police have registered a case under Sections 125, 106, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for acts endangering life and causing death by negligence.

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).
