The police arrested Balam Ram (25), a native of Chandaish village in Sarkaghat, in a murder case, today. Victim Jagdish Chand was a native of Ropari village, also in Sarkaghat.

SP Shalini Agnihotri said, “Krishna Devi, wife of Jagdish Chand, had lodged a missing person report about her husband at Sarkaghat police station on October 14. She said her husband was missing since October 3. A team was formed to trace Jagdish.”

“Probe revealed that Jagdish was murdered by Balam Ram on October 4. He threw the body into a nullah at Jagkroh village. The accused has been arrested under Section of 302, IPC,” the SP said.

“The body has been recovered and sent to Nerchowk medical college for autopsy. Further probe is in progress,” the SP said. He added that the accused would be produced before a court to seek his police remand.

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).
