Khanna, April 18

The police today initiated a departmental inquiry and ordered immediate transfer of Khanna Sadar SHO Baljinder Singh, who was accused of stripping three persons at his police station last year.

Action against the SHO was ordered by DGP Dinkar Gupta after a preliminary inquiry by IGP of Ludhiana Range Jaskaran Singh prima facie found the allegations true. A video of the incident had gone viral recently.

Gupta said while the SHO had been transferred with immediate effect to Ferozepur Range, a regular departmental inquiry had also been initiated against him.

The fact-finding inquiry was assigned to Jaskaran Singh by the DGP on April 16 after the objectionable video clip went viral on the social media. — OC

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).
