Ranchi, December 28

Four youths were killed after their car hit an electricity pole here on Thursday, police said.

The incident happened between Booty Chowk and Dumardaga around 1.30 am in the city’s Sadar police station area, they said.

Sadar police station in-charge Laxmikant told PTI, “The car, which was possibly travelling at breakneck speed, hit an electric pole and then overturned. The impact was so strong that the pole broke into three pieces.”

The youths, aged around 30 years, died on the spot. “They were rushed to Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) where doctors declared them brought dead,” he said.

All of them were residents of Ranchi’s Bariatu Basti, he said.

The deceased were identified as Afroz Khan, Amir Khan, Vicky Khan and Raju. According to police Afroz owned a chowmin shop and they were going to drop one of them at Ormanjhi.

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).
