Jalandhar, November 7

An on-duty Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of the Jalandhar traffic police, who had suffered serious injuries after a speeding car ran him over, died on Monday.

As per police officials, the incident took place near Verka Milk Plant late on Sunday night. The ASI identified as Sanjeev Kumar, was admitted to a hospital in critical condition with multiple fractures. “He was on duty when the incident took place. It’s a clear hit-and-run case. We are scrutinising CCTV cameras installed nearby to identify the vehicle,” they added.

Police officials said an FIR under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code had been registered against the accused driver at the Division Number 1 police station, and further investigation was underway.

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).
