Amritsar, February 4

The Gharinda police have booked two TV anchors for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by making objectionable remarks against the Bible and Jesus Christ. Those booked were identified as Iqbal Dhillon and Deep Bajwa.

Locus Masih, a resident of New Hamidpura, Naraingarh in Chheharta, told the police that the suspects were anchors of a Punjabi TV channel and had made objectionable comments against Jesus Christ and the Bible on social media. A complaint was lodged with the police four days ago and a case was registered after taking legal opinion. A case was registered under Sections 295-A and 34 of the IPC against the suspects.

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).
