Gobind Singh Longowal, former SGPC president, said Prabhjot had performed duty with him as a gunman for more than eight years till May 25. However, the district police authorities withdrew him from his (Longowal) security on account of requirement of more police personnel for the Lok Sabha elections on June 1, Longowal added.

Station House Officer (SHO) of the Longowal Police Station Vinod Kumar confirmed that the constable died as his service revolver went off accidentally. He said he was now posted at the Sangrur Police Lines, but he had yet to deposit his service revolver with 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).
