A Captain working with the Army Medical Corps died after accidentally falling off the balcony of his fourth floor flat here, the police said on Friday.

Shankar Raj Kumar (in his 30s) had returned home from Lucknow to celebrate the New Year and was standing in the balcony around 12.45 pm on January 2, the police said.

The wife rushed the Captain to a private hospital with the help of neighbours where he succumbed in the evening. The police suspect Kumar slipped and fell off the ledge and there was no foul play.

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).
