The body of Sandeep, a youth from village Salempur, who had left home to meet his sister and went missing in the forests of Italy, reached today and was cremated by grieving family members.

His family members said the tragic incident has brought sorrow to them. Sandeep was the only son of his parents. His uncle Satnam Singh said that after the departure of Sandeep Singh, it had become difficult for his parents to live.

They have demanded that the government find out reasons for Sandeep’s death and ensure punishment for his killers.

Another family that had reached there said their son was also missing in Italy. They appealed to the Indian embassy in Italy and the Indian government to help them locate him.

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).
