Bangarh gram panchayat pradhan Rakesh Kumar was killed in a road accident here, police said Friday. The accident occurred Thursday night at Mehatpur market after a truck lost control.

Kumar was standing on the roadside talking on the phone when the speeding truck rammed a parked pickup vehicle.

The impact of the collision was so strong that the truck slammed the wall of a nearby shop, with Kumar trapped in between, an eyewitness told the police.

Locals at the spot rushed to save Pradhan after which he was taken to a private hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The Mehatpur police took Kumar's body in their custody and sent it for a post-mortem to the Regional Hospital.

A case has been registered against the truck driver, the police said, adding that further investigation is 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).
