The police have claimed to have cracked the double murder case of a retired head constable and his son, who were shot dead in Samana on Sunday.

The accused, identified as Tajinder Pal Singh, was arrested on Monday.

Tajinder Pal Singh, alias Peter, allegedly shot dead retired head constable Brahmparkash (68) and his son Sunny (20) over a property dispute, the police have said. They were neighbours. The crime took place around 1.30 pm on Sunday.

After committing the alleged crime, Peter fled. He was caught after a car chase, the police said.

The incident was captured in a CCTV camera.

The accused could be seen collecting empty bullet shells after committing the crime.

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).
