Abohar, November 8

A Defence Security Corps (DSC) guard posted at the Suratgarh Air Force Station in Sriganganagar reportedly ended his life by shooting himself with a rifle this morning. According to police sources, Karan Singh Yadav, a resident of Dadabari in Nagaur district, shot himself in the neck with a rifle at 8 am on Tuesday, a few minutes after his duty got over.

Suratgarh City police station in-charge Ramkumar Legha and ASI Birju Singh reached the station and inspected the spot and questioned two others on duty. It was yet to be ascertained why Yadav took the extreme step.

On the basis of a report by an Air Force havildar, Guman Singh, the police have initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174 of the CrPC.

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).
