The Police have transferred to the CID itself a case regarding an investigation into the leaking of its information and documents. The CID will now itself investigate the matter. According to sources, the police headquarters has issued a direction in this regard.

The police had started investigating the case after an FIR was lodged in February 2025 against unknown persons for allegedly leaking the Himachal Pradesh CID’s information and documents. It was alleged that someone had unlawfully leaked the CID’s confidential information that was now being used to defame it as well as the state government. A case under Sections 59, 60, 61, 336(4) and 353(2) of the BNS has been registered.

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).
