Phagwara, February 21

The Mehatpur police have arrested a man on the charge of abetting suicide. Investigating officer (IO) Balwindar Singh said the accused has been identified as Rohit of Bath Kalan village.

Balwindar Kumar, a resident of the same village, had complained to the police that the accused used to stalk and harass his minor daughter Komal (16), who consumed some poisonous substance at her uncle’s place on March 2. She was rushed to the Nakodar Civil Hospital, where the doctor declared her brought dead. Kumar had said in his complaint that his daughter had consumed poison due to harassment by the accused.

The investigating officer said a case has been registered under Sections 34 and 306 of the Indian Penal Code and that his accomplice Ravinder Kumar, had been arrested earlier.

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).
