Amritsar, March 30

Punjabi singer Diljaan (31) died in an accident at Jandiala Guru here around 2 am today.

Diljaan was a runner-up in TV reality show ‘Sur Kshetra’ in 2012. He also participated in ‘Awaaz Punjab Di’ and released several songs over the past few years.

Jandiala Guru SHO Yadwinder Singh said Diljaan was driving the car from Kartarpur in Jalandhar to Amritsar to record a song when the accident occurred. He had recently returned from Canada. The car collided with an unidentified vehicle parked on the roadside. The police were trying to gather CCTV footage of the area to identify the vehicle.

“Diljaan’s wife and daughter are currently in Canada. They are expected to arrive soon. We have initiated proceedings under Section 174 of the CrPC,” the SHO said. — 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).
