Jalandhar, December 12

A Jalandhar-based man was seriously injured in a freak accident, when his gun went off while he was cleaning it.

Identified as Saudagar Singh, a resident of Kangniwal village in Jalandhar, the man was at his home in the afternoon when his .32 bore revolver went off during a routine cleaning. Saudagar Singh is a 45-year-old administrator of Gurdwara Saheedan at Kangniwal. He was cleaning a .32 bore revolver.

Saudagar received serious injuries in his head and was admitted to the ICU of a local hospital here. Patara police station SHO Arshdeep Kaur said: “The revolver went off accidentally while the man was cleaning it. Saudagar Singh lives with his wife and son at Kangniwal village. The family has also termed it an accident. He is currently serious but stable.”

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).
