The police have registered a case against unidentified individuals in the viral fake video involving former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, following a complaint from Somnath Bangar, Vice-President of the municipal council and Manpreet Singh. The video, which allegedly misrepresents Kejriwal's comments on the Indian Constitution and Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, has been edited to create a false narrative. The complainants said the video could incite hostility and damage social harmony, especially among SC/ST communities.

A case has been filed at the Garhshankar police station under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the SC/ST Act and the IT Act. The authorities have been urged to take strict action against those responsible for uploading the video.

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).
