Ashish, remanded in police custody, was sent to the district jail on Saturday evening for treatment at its healthcare facility, ASP Arun Kumar Singh said. Lakhimpur Kheri CMO Shailendra Bhatnagar, along with his team, examined Ashish.

“The samples collected on Saturday night have tested positive for dengue. His sugar level was found to be critical. Some changes were also observed in the ECG. This demands treatment by experts at the district hospital,” he told reporters on

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).
