Kullu, January 14

The body of a student, aged 35, from Rajasthan was found hanging from a noose in his hostel room in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Kamand in Mandi today. SP Shalini Agnihotri said that a police team visited the hostel and sent the body to a Mandi hospital.

She said that no foul play was suspected and no suicide note was recovered from the room. The police recorded the statements of other students and it was still not clear why he took the extreme step.

Shalini said the body was handed over to the aggrieved family members after a postmortem examination. A probe was underway.— OC

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).
