A 29-year-old unmarried Navy sailor was found hanging in the Colaba naval area early on Wednesday, naval officials said.

“Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide. A statutory board of inquiry is being ordered. A case has also been registered with the police,” said an official.

Other particulars like the sailor’s identity, which part of India he hailed from, his family details, and probable causes of suicide were not immediately available. IANS

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).
