A 23-year-old soldier hanged himself in a camp at Army’s Birdhwal station in Sriganganagar on Monday, sources said.

Prabhdayal Singh from Punjab’s Mansa was found hanging from a gate in the camp. He joined the army five years ago.

Ram Kumar Legha, the Station House Officer of Suratgarh city police station, said authorities had handed over the body back to the army after autopsy.

An audio of the victim talking about his reasons for the suicide has also gone viral.

Police said they were yet to determine what drove him to kill himself.

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).
