Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials raided all premises of arhtiya Rajdeep Singh at Ikolahi village in Khanna early this morning. He is a close associate of former Congress minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu, who is presently lodged in jail.

Sources said the raid started around 4 am at Rajdeep’s shop, his office and house in the village. Till late noon, the raid was on.

Rajdeep’s family stays abroad. His name also cropped up in an illicit liquor case at Baho Majra and in the food grain tender scam in which the

former minister was allegedly involved.

The ED sleuths raided all premises and confiscated important documents from the premises.

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).
