The court has accepted the police closure report in a case registered against rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh in 2018, following which the FIR registered at Mataur has been quashed.

The case pertained to the use of obscene and derogatory words against women in ‘Makhna’ song released in 2018. It was registered on the complaints of ASI Lakhwinder Kaur and the then Chairperson of the Punjab Women’s Commission, Manisha Gulati.

In the National Lok Adalat, both complainants stated that they had no objection to the dismissal of the case.

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).
