A Delhi court on Tuesday granted bail to several leaders of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), including Members of Parliament Derek O’ Brien, Sagarika Ghose and Saket Gokhale, in a case related to a protest held outside the Election Commission (EC) in April 2024, shortly before the General Election.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Neha Mittal of the Rouse Avenue court granted bail to all 10 accused. While nine of them appeared in person, one, Vivek Gupta, joined proceedings via video link. The court observed that since the police had already filed the chargesheet without arresting any of the accused, bail was appropriate in all cases. The matter is now listed for further hearing on May 21.

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).
