A CBI officer was killed when his motorcycle slipped while crossing a speed breaker in Jammu, an official said on Saturday.

Paloura resident Prashant Sharma, a deputy superintendent of police in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), was returning home when the accident occurred during the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, the official said.

The accident resulted in Sharma suffering critical head injuries. He was rushed to Government Medical College, Jammu.

Sharma died while being shifted to a hospital in Punjab for specialised treatment, the official said.

His postmortem examination is underway at Government Medical College, and the body will be handed over to his family after legal formalities are completed, he added.

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).
