Two armed men shot dead two youths at two different places here on Tuesday night.

According to information, the two assailants who had their faces covered, first killed one Shankar, a resident of Basti Nizamdeen, at a shop near Manjit Palace. Minutes later, the assailants ran towards the Magazini Gate area and killed another youth, Rishabh, a resident of Bharat Nagar. The accused then fled the spot.

Shankar was an AC mechanic and Rishabh a ‘halwai’. According to the preliminary investigation, it was the outcome of an old enmity.

Senior police officials reached the spot. SSP Bhupinder Singh said the police had set up nakas in the city and all exit points had been sealed. He said CCTV cameras were being scanned, they had got some clues and the culprits would be nabbed soon.

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).
