Gurugram, August 12

Held yesterday by the police for allegedly “tweeting misleading and false information”, the resident editor of Sudarshan News TV, Mukesh Kumar, was granted bail today.

Interestingly, while he was bailed out, a local right-wing leader, Rituraj, was sent to judicial custody by a court for sharing Kumar’s tweet on social media.

The police said a tweet was allegedly posted from the Twitter handle @mukeshkrd on August 8 which was “baseless, false and misleading”. “The police took cognisance of this matter and registered a case,” the police said in a statement.

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).
