Chandigarh, May 25

A local court has granted bail to Mannu Batta, who was arrested in an extortion case registered by the Chandigarh Police in March 2023.

The police arrested Batta and six others alleging that they were the members of the Davinder Bambiha gang. The police claimed that one of the members of the gang was in touch with gangster Lucky Patial, who is believed to be in Armenia.

Abhey Joshi and Tunish Nagar, counsel for the accused, argued the chargesheet had been filed only under different sections of the Arms Act and not under Section 386 of the IPC.

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).
