A local court in Amritsar on Sunday extended the police remand of former Punjab minister Laljit Singh Bhullar by three days. He was produced before the court of the duty magistrate following the expiry of his five-day police remand.

Bhullar was arrested from Mandi Gobindgarh on March 23 in connection with the suicide of Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, the district manager of Punjab State Warehousing Corporation in Amritsar.

Randhawa allegedly ended his life by consuming poison early on March 21, and a video appeared in which he purportedly claimed harassment by Bhullar, who resigned as minister later in the day at the direction of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann amid the row.

The incident has triggered a political storm in Punjab, with opposition parties targeting the AAP government.

Apart from Laljit Singh Bhullar, the police also booked his father Sukhdev Singh Bhullar and his personal assistant Dilbagh Singh on charges of abetment to suicide and criminal intimidation. Both are yet to be arrested in the case.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
