Amritsar, July 13

A day after a local court rejected his plea for an interim bail in a drugs seizure case, former SAD leader Anwar Masih attempted suicide while protesting outside the Special Task Force office here today.

Masih alleged he had been implicated in the case by “corrupt” officials. “I have been serving my community whole heartedly for the past three decades and not a single DDR had been registered against me. I cannot bear this insult of registration of a case under the NDPS Act,” he said, before consuming a poisonous substance.

Masih was taken to a private hospital where his condition was stated to be stable. — TNS

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).
