Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), October 16

Well-known magician O.P. Sharma passed away in Kanpur after a prolonged illness.

He was 49 and breathed his last at a hospital on Saturday night.

Born in 1973 in the Ballia district, Om Prakash Sharma, lived in a house named ‘Bhoot Bungalow’ in Barra in Kanpur.

He began performing magic at age of seven. By 2018 he had performed at nearly 39,000 shows.

Sharma had contested the Assembly elections from Govind Nagar on a Samajwadi Party ticket in 2002, but in 2019 he joined the BJP.

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).
