Ludhiana, September 14

Ludhiana police have booked Punjabi singer G Khan for hurting religious sentiments. G Khan had reportedly sung ‘indecent’ and ‘vulgar songs’ during the Ganesh Utsav event at Janakpuri in Ludhiana on September 9. Local Shiv Sena leaders had complained against him and held protest seeking registration of case.

The singer had also apologised for the incident on social media but Shiv Sena was in no mood to relent and wanted the police to register an FIR against the singer.

A case under Section 295 of the IPC has been registered against him at Police Division 2.

BJP leader Hitesh alias Honey Bedi, president of Baba Ganpati Sewa Sangh, who was organiser of the event on Ganpati Mahotsav, has also been booked.

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).
