A local court has granted bail to Sandeep Kumar, the husband of AAP councillor Poonam. He was arrested for allegedly assaulting police personnel and obstructing them from performing their duty at a check post in Sector 25.

Kumar was arrested on the night of August 12 for obstructing police officials from performing their duty at the checkpost.

Himanshu Sharma, the counsel for the accused, stated that there was a delay in the registration of the FIR. He said the FIR was registered due to political vendetta as the accused was the husband of an AAP councillor.

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).
