Patiala, January 11

Armed men on Tuesday shot dead a former sarpanch in Patiala in broad daylight.

Tara Dutt, the ex-sarpanch of Jhill village in Patiala rural and a resident of Tripari, was overseeing the construction work of his new house in Vikas Colony when unidentified men got off a car and allegedly pumped three bullets into Dutt.

The labourers and contractor at the spot rushed him to a private hospital, where he was declared dead.

Senior police officials said the reason behind the murder is not known. The police are investigating the matter.

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).
