A biker was killed and his pillion rider injured when a speeding bus rammed their motorcycle near the Floating Restaurant on GT Road in Sirhind.

The deceased has been identified as Rashid, a resident of Saharanpur. His brother-in-law Shatar, who survived with injuries, narrated the entire incident to the police.

According to Shatar, they were traveling to Ludhiana on a bike when a speeding bus from behind hit them. The impact threw them onto the road, and the rear tyre of the bus crushed Rashid’s head, killing him instantly.

The police have registered a case against the bus driver and initiated legal proceedings. After conducting a post-mortem, the body was handed over to Rashid’s family.

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).
