Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in Patna on Wednesday where he was grilled for nearly four hours in connection with the land-for-jobs case.

The ailing septuagenarian reached the ED’s Bank Road office in Patna at 10.30 am and left the premises around 2.30 pm. Prasad’s eldest daughter Misa Bharti, who is also the RJD MP from Pataliputra, accompanied her father. Lalu's appearance before the ED sparked tensions in the city as hundreds of RJD supporters and party workers gathered outside the ED premises to protest.

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).
