Jhajjar, March 26

A 61-year-old farmer was found murdered near new bus stand at the Tikri-Bahadurgarh border on Thursday evening.

The deceased has been identified as Hakam Singh of Patti Fuddu village in Bathinda district.

“Hakam’s body bearing injury marks on the neck inflicted by a sharp-edged weapon was recovered from a farm in the evening. Prime facie, it seems to be a case of murder, but exact cause of the death will be ascertained after the post-mortem,” said a police official, adding that the body had been kept in the mortuary of Civil Hospital in Bahadurgarh town.

He maintained that investigation was under way and the case was yet to be registered.

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).
