Six days after he was declared a proclaimed offender (PO), DSP Lakhbeer surrendered before a Nalagarh court this evening.

On the request of the state CID, the court remanded the DSP in a day’s custody, said a CID official.

The Nalagarh court had declared Lakhbeer a PO on February 15 after he failed to appear before it despite a proclamation requiring him to do so on or before February 3.

Lakhbeer is among six policemen accused of torturing a couple during remand and causing a severe ear injury to the young man. A case was registered against them at Nalagarh police station on December 27, 2023, based on a medical report and the orders of the Nalagarh court. The case was subsequently transferred to the state CID. Five other policemen had already been arrested and let-out on bail. The Himachal High Court had denied anticipatory bail to them in August 2024.

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).
