The body of a man was found on a bridge near Kothe Rahla, Jagraon, late on Tuesday evening. The deceased was identified as Ashwani Kumar, a resident of East Moti Bagh.

An injection was also reportedly found lying near the body. Getting information from locals, the police reached the spot and sent the body to the mortuary of a government hospital. The police said Aadhaar card was found in the deceased’s pocket on the basis of which his family was informed.

The police said according to his family members, Ashwani Kumar was ill for some time and his health was deteriorating day by day. In the initial investigation, it was suspected that he died due to heart attack. The post-mortem examination of the body would be done on Wednesday and further legal proceedings will be initiated on the basis of the autopsy report.

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).
