Mandi, June 18

Parents of Kavita (28), who was charred to death along with her two children at her house in Chhota Samahal village under Sarkaghat Assembly segment in Mandi on Wednesday, suspect foul play behind the incident.

In a complaint to the police, deceased’s father Mohan Lal said his daughter had made a distress call to her husband seeking help when the fire broke out in the house. He suspected that someone had put the house on fire deliberately to eliminate his daughter and her two children.

He urged the police to investigate the matter. Sarkaghat DSP Chanderpal Sharma said they were looking into all aspects of the case. — TNS

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).
