Faridkot, September 25

A clash involving four inmates at Faridkot Central Jail today left one of them seriously injured. The victim, Rajwinder Singh, who suffered head injuries, was shifted to the Civil Hospital here.

Sources said it started with a scuffle between three inmates, who are facing cases under the NDPS and Arms Act, and Rajwinder. It is alleged Lovepreet Singh of Bathinda, Baljit Singh of Muktsar and Pawandeep Singh Pawana of Faridkot had a verbal dispute with Rajwinder, who is undergoing 10 years in jail under the NDPS Act. However, this verbal dispute led to a scuffle, leaving the latter with a head injury.

The jail authorities claimed that by the time they managed to stop the fight, the inmate had already sustained a head injury.

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).
