A Border Security Force (BSF) trooper shot himself dead in J&K’s Kupwara district after learning that his wife had died by suicide back home in Rajasthan.

Officials said head constable Rajendra Yadav was posted in Kupwara district. When he learnt that his wife, Anshu Yadav, had hanged herself in her house at Dheerpur village of Rajasthan on Tuesday, the BSF trooper shot himself dead with his service revolver.

Officials said the couple had fought on the phone before the wife took the extreme step. They had married eight months back.

The body of the BSF trooper would reach his home on Thursday, officials said.

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).
