Congress leader and former minister Razia Sultana and her husband, former DGP Mohammad Mustafa, were bereaved as their 33-year-old son, Aqil Akhtar, died in Panchkula on Friday morning. The deceased’s body was taken for burial to Mustafa’s native village, Harda Kheri, near Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh during the day. Akhtar, an advocate, is survived by wife Jainab Akhtar, a son and a daughter, besides his parents.

Sources revealed that Akhtar was found in an unconscious condition at his Panchkula residence and was declared dead at Sector 6 Civil Hospital. A post-mortem was conducted on the body to ascertain the exact cause of death, even though the family has not blamed anyone for the death. Jainab, former chairperson of the Punjab Waqf Board, is a probable Congress candidate for the 2027 Assembly poll.

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).
