Mandi, March 31

Additional District and Sessions Judge Hans Raj has awarded life imprisonment to a Mandi villager for murdering his sister-in-law at Sundernagar in 2014.

According to District Attorney Kulbhushan Gautam, the case under Section 302 was registered on February 2014 against Alam Singh, alias Avtar Singh, a resident of Dinak village in Mandi district, for hitting his sister-in-law with a spade in a fit of rage over a land dispute. She later succumbed to her injuries.

“The court found Alam Singh guilty of murder and awarded him life imprisonment and also imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 on him. In case of nonpayment of fine, he will have to undergo simple imprisonment for three months more,” the attorney said. — 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).
