Patiala, October 19

Two days after a 54-year-old woman went missing, the Nabha police today exhumed her body from her house. The police have arrested the son of the victim who has allegedly confessed that he murdered his mother as she was reluctant to sell her land and give him money.

The police said Sabir Ali (22) used an axe to allegedly murder his mother Kiranaa. “Two days ago, he had a verbal spat with his mother as he wanted her to sell two acres of land out of the total six acres she owned. When she refused to sell it, Sabir got furious and attacked her. He picked up an axe and hit the victim repeatedly. He then dug a pit in their one-room house and buried her body,” said the police.

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).
