A video featuring a local Instagram influencer has created quite a buzz on social media. In the video, she is seen sitting on a police vehicle’s hood, recording a fun reel on a Punjabi song.

The police vehicle reportedly belonged to Division number 4. Meanwhile, ACP Central Nirmal Singh confirmed that Division No 4 SHO Ashok Sharma has been sent to Police Lines.

However, no action has been taken against the influencer.

Also, the influencer had deleted the video after it received a backlash from viewers.

She then explained on her Instagram profile that she made it at a friend’s birthday party.

She claimed to have obtained permission from the police officer to whom the vehicle belonged and emphasised that she had no intention to defame anyone.

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).
