Amritsar, November 5

Prime suspect in Shiv Sena (Taksali) leader Sudhir Suri murder case, Sandeep Singh, was produced in a court here on Saturday, which sent him to seven-day police custody.

Forensic teams from Chandigarh have also reached the spot.

Meanwhile, his family has demanded a martyr’s status for him. They refused to cremate the body in case the government failed to announce the martyr’s status for him.

They also asked the government to ensure security to the family.

Suri’s son Manik claimed that the family was getting death threats from overseas phone numbers. He alleged that the callers were threatening to eliminate the family.

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).
