An 18-year-old girl has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in the Mehli locality of Shiml here today. According to the police, the deceased was living with her sister in Mehli as their mother had gone to Delhi to attend a marriage ceremony. On Tuesday night, when the deceased’s sister tried to enter her room, she found that the room was locked from inside. The deceased was found hanging in her room.

Police reached the spot and recovered the body. However, no suicide note was found from the scene and the exact cause behind the suicide is yet to be ascertained. Shimla SP Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi said further investigation was underway.

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).
