Jalandhar, July 6

Punjabi actor Rana Jung Bahadur was arrested by the Jalandhar police on Wednesday for hurting the religious sentiments of people.

He had reportedly passed ‘objectionable’ comments against Lord Valmiki in an interview recently. Members of the Valmiki community had been protesting in the city seeking his arrest.

A case was registered against him at the New Baradari police station of the city. The court had already rejected his application for anticipatory bail on Tuesday.

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).
