Abohar, August 30

A 25-year-old man was killed Saturday night in Patrewala village, 20 km from here on Abohar-Hindumalkot road, reportedly over an election-related enmity.

Witnesses said at least three persons in police uniforms along with 12 others wielding sharp-edged weapons and firearms barged into a house at 11 pm and allegedly killed Baba Khalsa aka Babbi. They also assaulted his mother Issar Kaur, brother Davinder Singh and cousin Angrej Singh who tried to intervene. The accused fled when some villagers responded to cries for help.

The victims were rushed to the Civil Hospital where Babbi was declared brought dead. The police have initiated proceedings by recording statements of the injured.

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).
