Chandigarh, March 9

A local court has granted bail to former journalist Sanjeev Mahajan in a case of ‘threatening’ a witness of an alleged murder case. The police had registered the case against Mahajan under Sections 195A, 506 and 120B, IPC, at the Sector 17 police station on the complaint Rohit Kumar of Mohali, who was witness in an alleged murder case, on November 23, 2021.

Rohit alleged that Mahajan had called him from a mobile and asked not to depose against Vikas, alias Boxer, in the case. The UT Police has already filed a charge sheet against Mahajan and Vikas Mor, alias Boxer, in the case.

Rajesh Sharma counsel of the accused argued that he was falsely implicated in the case. After hearing arguments the court allowed the bail application. Mahajan is currently in judicial custody in an alleged property grabbing 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).
