Moga, January 22

A 40-year old man hailing from Galauti village in Moga district has allegedly been shot dead along with a local youth on the outskirts of Manila in the Philippines, the family said here on Saturday.

Parminder Singh went to the Philippines about 15 years back. After struggling for a couple of years, he started a finance company.

It is learnt that the Manila police had arrested one assailant by chasing him and recovered the weapon used in the crime.

Preliminary investigation revealed that there was a monetary dispute over lending money, which led to the murder.

Meanwhile, the family has urged the Indian government to bring back the body.

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).
