Abohar, August 7

A youth in Bhagu village died of drug overdose last night. This is the third death due to drug overdose in the area in the past few weeks.

The deceased, identified as Vicky, had been an addict for some time according to his brother, Manohar Lal. During his treatment at a de-addiction centre in Sadulshehar, 31 km from here, he came in contact with Lovepreet Singh of Dhippanwali village.

Both of them went out at noon yesterday and Vicky’s family got a call at night, informing them of his unconscious state and location (Dhippanwali link road). He was brought to the government hospital Abohar, where he died.

Lovepreet Singh has been booked under Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code, said Ravinder Sharma, Wahabwala Police station in-charge.

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).
