Weeks after three relatives of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) legislator went missing, their highly decomposed bodies were found trapped in a car in a canal.

It was a search for a couple whose two-wheeler had fallen into the Kakatiya canal that led authorities to discover the drowned vehicle. The car surfaced after authorities closed the sluice gates of the canal to look for the couple, of whom rescuers found only the man and are still looking for his wife.

Meanwhile, the bodies found inside the car belonged to Peddapalli MLA Dasari Manohar Reddy’s sister, husband, and their daughter. The car had to be broken into to pull the bodies out. Police were still investigating how the family ended up in the canal, located some 4 km from Hyderabad.

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).
