Nahan, April 30

A day after the declaration of Class 12 exam result, an 18-year-old boy reportedly hanged himself to death in Paonta Sahib today.

Rohit Chauhan, a resident of Surajpur, reportedly died by suicide at his home. Sources said Rohit had failed the exam last year as well.

According to Paonta Sahib’s Deputy Superintendent of Police Aditi Singh, initial investigations suggest that Rohit’s death by suicide was linked to the distress caused by his poor academic performance.

Authorities are also looking into other facets of the tragic incident to understand the circumstances that forced him to take the extreme step.

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).
