New Delhi, October 7

India on Friday described the murder of four members of an Indian-origin family in California as “shocking and unfortunate” and said its mission in San Francisco was following up on the matter with the local authorities.

“We are aware of the incident. The local police authorities are probing the matter. We will provide whatever assistance we can extend,” said External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.

The family was kidnapped by an armed American earlier this week and later found dead in a rural orchard, local authorities had said. The family, originally from Harsi Pind in Hoshiarpur, was kidnapped from their new trucking business site on Monday.

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).
