An FIR has been lodged against unknown persons for allegedly leaking the information and documents of the Himachal CID.

The SP, State CID, had filed a complaint at Chotta Shimla police station stating that some person had unlawfully leaked confidential information and documents of the CID and these were being used to defame the agency as well as the state government. On the basis of the complaint, an FIR has been registered under Section 59, 60, 61 (criminal conspiracy), 305, 336(4) (forgery with the intent to harm someone’s reputation) and 353(2) (punishing individuals who make, publish or circulate false information, rumours or statements) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS), 2023.

The FIR has been lodged after confidential information and documents of the CID were leaked and widely published in the media at the state and national levels a few months ago.

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).
