Kaithal Superintendent of Police Rajesh Kalia has suspended Pundri SHO, Inspector Ram Niwas, following an alleged security breach during Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda’s rally at Karoda village of the district on Saturday.

The SP has also initiated a departmental inquiry against the suspended officer.

Confirming the suspension, Kalia said, “There is a specific procedure to be followed during the duty of VIPs using helicopters or any aircraft. There was a lapse in this procedure, due to which he has been suspended.”

As per the allegations, the breach occurred when people ran towards the aircraft as MP Deepender Hooda was about to board it.

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).
