In the evening, the children went to the village gurdwara before going to play with other children near the waterworks tank. After some time, some children told the people present nearby that both siblings had fallen into the water tank.

Some villagers jumped into the tank to rescue the children and took both of them out. They were taken to Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital where the doctors declared them dead. Villagers believe the girl had slipped into the tank and her brother jumped into it to save her.

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).
