Ludhiana, May 15

Unidentified car-borne persons allegedly shot dead two Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) at the New Grain Market in Jagraon, about 45 km from here, on Saturday evening.

The deceased have been identified as Bhagwan Singh and Dalwinder Singh who were posted in the CIA wing of the Ludhiana rural police.

The policemen, who were in civvies, were checking vehicles at a naka near the grain market. During the checking, the cops stopped a Canter. However, assailants who were in a white car behind the Canter suddenly fired at the ASIs. While one cop died on the spot, the other succumbed to his injuries at the DMC Hospital.

SSP Charanjit Singh Sohal said the naka had been set up following a tip-off about liquor smuggling. — 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).
