The Ludhiana (Rural) police have initiated a probe into the recovery of the body of a youth who had gone missing on Tuesday.

The body of the deceased, identified as Tarun Sharma of Jagraon, was recovered near Akhara Bridge on Abohar Canal on Sunday. His motorcycle was recovered from Gurdwara Charanghat.

Sources at Jagraon city police station said the body had been kept at a mortuary at Civil Hospital, Jagraon, and further action would be taken on the basis of initial report of the post-mortem examination. Meanwhile, the victim’s kin have alleged that he was killed by some unknown persons.

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).
