New Delhi, December 1

An inquiry has found that jailed Delhi minister Satyendar Jain met with co-accused in a money laundering case as well as family members in Tihar Jail where he “misused” his position to receive VIP treatment, official sources said on Thursday.

In its report, the inquiry committee formed by Delhi L-G VK Saxena also claimed “collusion” between Jain and then Director-General (Prisons) Sandeep Goel over “VIP treatment” to the minister in jail. Delhi government sources, however, claimed that the L-G had no power to set up this committee.

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).
