An assistant sub-inspector posted allegedly committed suicide in the wee hours of Monday at Garha locality here by shooting himself with his service revolver.

Swaran Singh was posted as a driver with Assistant Commissioner of Police (North) and had just set out from his place for home at Sheikhe village past midnight when he reportedly killed himself.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Jagmohan Singh termed the incident unfortunate saying it seemed a clear case of suicide as shots had been fired from his service weapon.

He said an inquiry was being held to find out why he took the extreme step.

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).
