Hyderabad, May 18

A weekend mountain biking trip ended in tragedy for an American expatriate in the city. The US national, identified by police as Paul Robert, was found dead in the rocky terrain near the Gandipet reservoir on Hyderabad’s outskirts.

A search operation was launched by the police, when Robert’s wife approached them after he did not respond to her phone calls. With the aid of cell phone tower coordinates, and the help of a friend who used to accompany him on his biking trips, the police located Robert’s body on Sunday evening, with injuries and a broken helmet.

Police said Robert, resident in the city for over a year, had apparently lost control of the bike while cycling down the hillock. 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).
