Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sanjiv Suman said the Special Operations Group (SOG) and personnel from two police stations carried out the raid to nab cattle smugglers in a village bordering Bulandshahr district.

Inspector Azhar Hussain’s pistol jammed during the operation. While Sub-Inspector Rajiv Kumar was attempting to unlock the weapon, it suddenly discharged. The bullet pierced through Kumar’s abdomen and hit constable Yakoob in the head, the SSP said.

He said Yakoob succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital, while Kumar is undergoing treatment.

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).
