Tarn Taran, January 17

A 15-year-old boy of Allowal village under the jurisdiction of the Verowal police station allegedly died of a drug overdoze on Monday.

The deceased was the only child of his parents. The boy’s mother said he had gone to the village on his motorcycle to arrange labour for work. She said she was informed by his son’s friend, who was accompanying him, that a motorcycle-borne unknown person handed over an intoxicant injection to the victim, who injected it.

After that his condition worsened. He was taken to a hospital in Amritsar where doctors declared him dead.

The victim was a student of Class X. Arun Sharma, DSP, Goindwal Sahib, said a case under Section 304 of the IPC was registered by the Verowal police against the unidentified person on Tuesday.

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).
