Sangrur, July 4

An elderly couple was found dead under mysterious circumstances at their house in Mubarak Mehal Colony here on Saturday.

According to information, when Pritam Singh (78) and wife Surjit Kaur (77) did not answer the door after the milkman came, he sounded the neighbours, who found the two lying unconscious in their room. They called the police.

“The bodies did not have external injuries. To ascertain the cause of death, we will get the post-mortem done from a board of doctors,” said Rural Sangrur DSP Satpal Sharma.

The couple did not have children.

It’s shocking as they did not have enmity with anyone, said a neighbourhood shopkeeper.

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).
