Jalandhar, June 2

The police booked four persons for a clash between Congress and BJP workers at a polling booth in Basti Guzan, Jalandhar West, here yesterday.

The incident involved Congress leader Kuldeep Mintu’s son Sumit Mintu, Rajni Angural, Shikha Verma and Shalu Jarwal.

On a complaint filed by BJP leader Yogesh Malhotra, the police have registered a case against the suspects under Sections 323, 341 and 506 of the IPC.

Mintu and others, who allegedly harbour political animosity against Malhotra, attacked him while he was going to a polling booth of the BJP. Mintu claimed that Malhotra first assaulted Rajni Angural, leading to the scuffle.

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).
