A police sub-inspector was shot dead allegedly by a constable with his service rifle in Manipur’s Jiribam district on Saturday, an officer said.

Sub-inspector Shah Jahan was shot dead from point blank range allegedly by constable Bikramjit in the Mongbung area of the district and an investigation was being conducted, the officer added. Preliminary reports said Jahan had a verbal altercation with Bikramjit on Saturday. The constable had been arrested, the officer said.

A police official said a large number of personnel had been stationed in Mongbung village to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of residents amid escalating tensions in the district.

The mixed-populated Jiribam district, adjoining southern Assam, has witnessed several incidents of violence this year.

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).
