Rewari, July 25

Superintendent Anil Kumar and Deputy Superintendent Naresh Kumar of the District Jail in Rewari city have been placed under suspension reportedly in connection with the Fideri jailbreak case.

“The action has been taken against both the officers after the lapse was, during inquiry, found at their end in the Fideri jailbreak case. Besides them, the inquiry also exposed the negligence on the part of police personnel who had the responsibility of ensuring security of the jail premises,” said Jagjit Singh, IG (Jail), who conducted the preliminary inquiry into the matter. On the intervening night of May 8 and 9, 13 Covid-positive inmates escaped the jail after cutting the lock of the iron grill. The IG said most of the escaped inmates had been arrested from different locations.

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).
