A local court has sent a man and his parents to jail for 10 years for killing his wife over dowry dispute.

Also a fine of Rs 35,000 was imposed on each of the convicts—Nikhil, his father Madanlal and mother Vimlesh.

According to the prosecution, Sikha was strangled to death by her in-laws over dowry dispute at Gyanamajra village in Shamli district in 2016. She was married to Nikhil in 2013. — 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).
