New Delhi, February 7

A BSF jawan allegedly shot himself dead after killing his colleague at a camp in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district on Monday, officials said.

The incident took place early in the morning at the BSF’s Jalangi camp guarding the India-Bangladesh international border.

According to officials, the two men got into a scuffle after they received summons from the local police.

The incident comes a day after five BSF personnel were killed at a camp in Amritsar. The accused jawan who shot the four was also killed.

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).
