Gurugram, February 15

Gurugram police has booked the Chintel builders under section 304(2) of IPC for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The builder and contractors were earlier booked for negligence after two women died in partial collapse of D tower of Chintel Paradiso.

It was Rajesh Bhardwaj, husband of deceased who had moved to police and an FIR was registered at Bajghera police station.

The residents were however angry and started protest, accusing local police of shielding builder by adding bailable sections to FIR and not booking him for murder. It was after a relay hunger strike was started yesterday that builder was booked under this section.

“When they use substandard material don’t they know what repercussions could be? It was not negligence but murder in waiting,” said the complainant Rajesh Bhardwaj.

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).
