A 40-year-old man from the Sikh community was found hanging in south Kashmir’s Tral, the police said on Tuesday. The Sikh community has demanded a probe into the death.

Police sources said that the man was found hanging on Monday from a tree in Tral’s Daramgund Aripal area.

A police official said he had left his home without his phone at 11 am and was found hanging at 4 pm. “We have started the proceedings under 194 Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,” said a police official. The deceased has been identified as Surjeet Singh.

Another official said all required medico-legal procedures have been done and investigation has been taken up.

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).
