Amritsar, October 21

The rural police claimed to have held SI Sandeep Kaur, absconding in a double suicide case, from Shri Hargobindpur of Gurdaspur district today. Gaurav Toora, in-charge of the three-member SIT, confirmed the development.

Vikramjit Singh, a jeweller and resident of Navapind village located on the Mehta road, had committed suicide around 10 days ago after allegedly being blackmailed by the SI, who was posted at the Mehta police station. A day after the incident, his wife Sukhbir Kaur, a teacher, also ended her life by hanging herself.

The names of some other cops also came to light during probe on the basis of the suicide note recovered from the hotel room where Vikramjit committed suicide. — TNS

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).
