Moga, June 20

After failing to clear IELTS, a 20-year-old girl allegedly ended her life by consuming a pesticide at Nathoke village in Moga’s Baghapurana subdivision, the police said today.

Deceased’s father Balwinder Singh told the police that his daughter wanted to go to Canada for higher studies and settle there, but despite repeated attempts she could not clear IELTS exam. She went into depression and took the extreme step, he claimed.

The police initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174, CrPC, and handed over the body to the kin.

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).
