The Nakodar Sadar police have booked three individuals for assaulting a political activist. Investigating Officer (IO) Janak Raj confirmed that the accused are Harsahib Singh from Jandiala village and Happy from Sahem village.

Saabi Dhaliwal, a political activist from Maherru village under Mehatpur police station, reported to the police that on June 12, while attending a religious meeting at Nurpur Chatha village, he was waylaid by the accused in Nihang attire as he left the meeting at 7 PM.

The attackers severely injured him with sharp weapons and issued threats. A case under sections 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 126(2) (wrongful restraint), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), and 3(5) (common intention) of the BNS has been registered against the accused and their unidentified accomplice.

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).
