Ludhiana, Feburary 15

The Court of Additional and Sessions Judge Lukhvinder Kaur Duggal convicted Parveen Bala (36) of Mohala Chimni Road, Shimlapuri, and her brother-in-law Pardeep Kumar, alias Sonu, of Sahibzada Fateh Singh Nagar, Daba, Ludhiana, for killing her father-in-law over a property dispute.

The duo was ordered to undergo rigorous life imprisonment. A fine of Rs 10,000 each was also imposed. The court held that the prosecution had successfully proved the charges. The court also declined the plea of leniency raised by the convicts. A case against them was registered at Shimlapuri police station on December 1, 2015, following the statement of Rishab Arora, grandson of the deceased. —OC

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).
