Gurmel Singh, president of Patti block of the Congress, was shot dead by armed men here on Wednesday.

Hours after the incident, gangsters Doni Bal, Prabh Dasuwal, Afridi Tut and Kaushal Chowdhury took the responsibility through a social media post.

Describing him as a police informer, they held him responsible for passing off information to the police leading to the arrest of Afridi.

The post said that he had made an alliance with their enemies and was about to provide more information to the police.

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).
