The parents of Agniveer Nikhil Dhadhwal, who died in Kashmir earlier this week, have urged President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order an inquiry into their son’s death.

Nikhil, who was posted in the Tanda area of Kashmir’s Akhnoor, died on Thursday. He was from the first batch of Agniveers and had completed two years in the Army.

His father Daler Singh, a taxi driver, said that he was informed on phone that his son had sustained serious injury and later died. He urged the President and the Prime Minister to get an inquiry conducted into the cause of death.

Nikhil’s brother Akhil has also urged the government to probe the case.

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).
