The police have initiated a probe into an incident in which an employee of the Ladhowal toll plaza was allegedly assaulted by a kabaddi player. The suspect, yet to be identified, had manhandled him deployed at the VIP lane as he had refused to allow his car to cross the barrier.

Toll Plaza manager Vipan Kumar said, “When our employee asked him to either show an exemption letter or divert his car to routine lanes, he felt insulted and allegedly started beating him,” he said.

SHO Gurshinder Kaur said the police had initiated an investigation into the matter.

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).
