Ludhiana, March 6

A man arrested by the Salem Tabri police in connection with some cases of snatching two days ago committed suicide in the police lockup here on Sunday evening. The deceased was identified as Ashish Kumar Shashi of Goraya.

Salem Tabri SHO Inspector Ramandeep Singh said Shashi was caught by a police party on March 4. One motorcycle and seven mobile phones were recovered from him.

Yesterday, a court remanded him in police custody. He reportedly ended his life by hanging this evening.

Officials posted at the police station are being questioned in connection with the incident.

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).
