Yuvika Chaudhary, who was Bigg Boss 9 contestant, has been making headlines for the wrong reasons. The actress was arrested under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (SC/ST Act), as she allegedly made an offensive remark on one of her YouTube vlogs. Yuvika was arrested on Monday by Haryana police. However, she has been granted interim bail.

Her legal representative, Ashok Bishnoi, in a statement said: “My client has joined the investigations according to the guidelines given by the High Court and she is on interim bail now.” Reportedly, the actress made an offensive remark towards a community, which she deleted after getting a huge backlash. She later took to Instagram to clarify that she did not know the word she used was a casteist slur!

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).
