Gurugram, March 16

The Gurugram Police on Saturday took two people in custody after an objectionable video surfaced online purportedly showing BJP’s Sonepat MP Ramesh Kaushik and a woman.

Police lodged an FIR against unnamed people following a complaint by the BJP IT Cell at Gurugram’s Cyber East Police Station, said an officer.

According to the complaint, the politician was being linked to the video to defame him.

Police have booked the matter under sections 500 (defamation) and 509 (insult to modesty of any woman) of the IPC and Section 67A of IT Act.

“As per the complaint, an FIR has been registered and the probe is under way,” said a senior police officer.

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).
