An 18-year-old youth was murdered at a village here over an alleged love affair, police said on Tuesday.

Sonu was found dead with his throat slit at his agriculture fields in Alamnagar village under the Sidhauli police station area on Sunday, SP S Anand said, adding that the victim’s father lodged a complaint in this regard.

Two youths, identified as Aman Singh and Mukesh Kumar, have been arrested. During interrogation, Aman said the deceased had an affair with his sister, the SP added.

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).
