A special CBI court on Wednesday convicted former Sarhali SHO Surinderpal Singh (62) in a 32-year-old kidnapping, illegal confinement and disappearance case of Amritsar residents Sukhdev Singh and his father-in-law, Sulakhan Singh (80), a freedom fighter.

The co-accused, ASI Avtar Singh, had died during the trial.

Surinderpal is already convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Jaswant Singh Khalra murder case. He is also convicted and sentenced for 10 years’ imprisonment in another case regarding the kidnapping and disappearance of four family members of Jeo Bala village in Tarn Taran.

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).
