Friends of a youth reportedly made him consume alcohol in excessive quantity due to which he breathed his last. The Police Division 6 on Thursday registered a case based on the statement of Jaish Ram, father of Monu Kumar (24), the deceased, who was a resident of Ambedkar Nagar, UP.

The suspects were identified as Kanti, Pintu and Vikas.

SHO Kulwant Kaur stated that Jaish Ram said on July 8 that he received a call from the police informing him about his son’s death. On enquiring the matter, the victim’s father learnt that the youths had given him excessive amount of liquor to consume. It also came to light that after his death, his friends abandoned the body near Pratap Chowk and fled the place.

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).
