Three people were arrested for allegedly killing a 17-year-old boy with a sharp-edged weapon here, police said on Tuesday.

Ajay Kumar, a resident of Bhatyari village in Bishnah, was found dead near his house on the outskirts of Jammu around midnight on January 13.

Kumar was a bus conductor and had had an altercation over some issue with the accused a few days earlier, police said.

“The murder case was solved with the arrest of all three accused — Anmol Sharma (24), Nikhil Sharma (29) and Nishant Choudhary (23), all residents of Samba district. They confessed to the crime, revealing that the murder stemmed from a personal rivalry,” a police spokesman said.

He added that two sharp-edged weapons and a car used in the crime had been seized.

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).
