Muktsar, February 8

Mehal Singh, father of slain gangster Harjinder Singh Bhullar, alias Vicky Gounder, allegedly died by suicide by jumping before a train.

The body of the deceased was identified on Wednesday morning.

His relatives said 65-year-old Mehal Singh, a resident of Sarawan Bodla village in the Lambi area, was depressed after his son died in a police encounter in January 2018.

The deceased is survived by his wife and two daughters.

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).
