The deceased farmer Swaran Singh owned two and a half acres of land and his two sons worked as daily wage labourers. One of the sons, Harmeet Singh said the bank officials were scheduled to reach their home to recover the loan amount today.

Harmeet said his father had taken a loan of Rs 3.5 lakh three years ago and had failed to repay instalment of Rs 17,000 which was due in November. He said that his father was suffering from depression due to this and today when bank officials were scheduled to reach their home for recovery of loan amount, he ended his life by consuming some poisonous substance.

Assistant sub inspector of police Balbir Singh said that police has initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174 of 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).
