Pathankot, June 16

A Patiala youth, who had eloped with a Pathankot-based girl a year ago, ended his life while in the custody of the Pathankot police.

SSP Gulneet Singh Khurana said the youth, Harmandeep Singh (24), hanged himself from the fan with a piece of cloth this morning. “He had been brought from Sanuar in Patiala district yesterday after the parents of the girl complained to the police that he was harassing their daughter. We produced him in a court yesterday, which sent him to judicial custody. The court had ordered that he undergoes a Covid test. We had lodged him in the Nangal Bhoor police station in transit remand,” said the SSP. He added that an inquest had been marked into the incident.

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).
