Noida, September 11

A former Indian Information Service (IIS) officer, Nitin Nath Sinha, 62, has been arrested for allegedly strangulating to death his 61-year-old wife (Renu Sinha) in Noida. The police said Nitin wanted to sell his house, valued at around Rs 4.5 crore, but she was opposing it. Renu had been suffering from cancer.

After committing the murder, Sinha hid himself in a small store room on the upper floor of his two-storey house for more than 10 hours, said DCP Harish Chander.

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).
