Mohali, August 10

Jagtar Singh Hawara, a convict in former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh’s assassination case, was produced in a local court through videoconferencing in terror-related and sedition-related cases today.

The court ordered him to be produced in person on August 28 to read out the chargesheets and hand these over to him in the cases registered against him.

Earlier, the court had received a letter from the Delhi Police that in view of the Independence Day security preparations, it would not be possible to produce him in the court in person. The court noted that Hawara would be produced through videoconferencing.

Hawara is currently lodged in Tihar Jail and booked under sedition and terror-related cases registered in the Sohana and Kharar police stations.

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).
