Amritsar, November 3

A local court today granted bail to Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal and former MLA Virsa Singh Valtoha in a case registered against them in Beas on July 2, 2021, for violation of Covid norms.

Earlier, the court had issued non-bailable warrants against the duo. While coming out of the court, Badal termed the case as politically motivated. “This case is politically motivated. It was registered by the Congress,” he said.

Counsel for Sukhbir and Valtoha, advocate Punit Mohan Jakhmi said the duo was granted bail and November 29 has been as the next date of hearing. Sukhbir and Valtoha were booked under the IPC and the Epidemic Diseases Act.

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).
