Punjabi University first year BPharma student Shubham was found hanging from the hostel room ceiling fan under mysterious circumstances. The police started a probe into the incident after receiving information from the university authorities.

The victim was a resident of Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh and had taken admission in the university earlier this year.

The police said they had informed his parents about the incident and prima facie were treating it as suicide.

“When we entered the hostel room, his body was found hanging from the ceiling fan and the door was locked from inside. We have questioned some of his friends," the police added.

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).
