Una, December 2

An Una court today convicted and sentenced a mother and son duo to three months imprisonment for obstructing a uniformed, on duty policeman. According to District Attorney Sohan Singh Kaundal, Judicial Magistrate, Court number 3, passed the orders.

Kaundal said that on October 29, 2015, constable Arun Kumar, posted as PSO of Additional District Judge, was on duty in the Una district courts complex when Aarti Devi and Gurcharan Singh, both residents of Arniala village, started abusing him.

He added that the woman and her son caught the constable by his shirt’s collar, tearing his uniform. To defame the policeman, the duo clicked his photographs with their mobile phones.

The duo was sentenced to three months imprisonment. Besides, a fine of Rs 500 was imposed on him.

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).
