Amethi, January 28

A 40-year-old son of a former village head was shot dead allegedly over a property dispute in the Sangrampur police station area of this Uttar Pradesh district, police said on Thursday.

The bullet-ridden body of Brijesh Singh, son of former gram pradhan late Avadh Naresh Singh and a resident of Bhulai ka Purwa, was found in neighbouring Fatau ka Purva early in the morning, Amethi ASP Dayaram Saroj said.

The body had bullet injuries on the head and chest, he said, adding that the deceased’s brother has accused one Indu Prakash Singh alias Lallu Singh, with whom they had a property dispute, of killing his brother.

The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, the ASP said. — PTI

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).
