Chandigarh, September 1

Police have registered a case against 8 persons in UP’s Prayagraj over a viral video that shows hookah and non-veg party taking place on boat near ‘Sangam’, the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.

The site is regarded as holy in Hinduism and is visited by thousands of devotees every day.

Prayagraj Police has tweeted in this context stating that a case has been registered against 8 persons, 2 named and 6 unidentified, and will soon arrest them.

The accused have been charged with hurting religious sentiments and defiling a place of worship, according to a report by NDTV.

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).
