Apprehending a fake encounter, BSP MLA Mukhtar Ansari’s wife Afsan Ansari on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking security and protection for her husband while he’s shifted from Ropar jail to the Banda jail in UP.

She urged the top court to pass necessary directions for Ansari’s security in prison and when he’s produced before courts. She also wanted the court to ensure free and fair trial. Quoting sources, she said plans were being made to shoot her husband during the course of his appearance in court at the behest of some high ranking officers of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. — TNS

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).
