A BA-III student from Thikriwala village allegedly died by suicide last night after hanging herself at home. Her family said she had been distressed because they were unable to arrange college fee of Rs 5,000.

Deceased Ramandeep reportedly needed the amount to appear in exams. Family members told the police that she had been mentally disturbed for some time.

The Barnala (Sadar) police have started an investigation. BJP leader and former MLA Kewal Singh Dhillon visited the family to offer condolences.

Barnala SSP Mohd Sarfaraz Alam said he would have to verify details of the case.

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).
