Dharam Singh (48) of Bastana village in Paonta Sahib succumbed to accidental firing.

DSP Ramakant Thakur, said, “The victim was hunting in a forest along with his relative Yashwant Singh, who was walking behind him with a double-barrel gun. As Yashwant slipped, the gun fell from his shoulder and a bullet hit Dharam.”

He was rushed to a local hospital from where he was referred to Paonta Sahib, but was pronounced dead.

A case under Sections 336 and 304 of the IPC and Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act has been registered against Yashwant.

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).
