Charges have been framed against 14 people, including AAP MP Sanjay Singh and former Samajwadi Party MLA Anoop Sanda, by a local court here in connection with a street protest against the power department in 2008.

Charges were framed against 14 people on Saturday by MP-MLA Court Judge Yogesh Kumar Yadav, AAP MP’s lawyer Madan Singh said on Sunday.

In 2008, a case was registered against 36 people, including district president Raghuveer Yadav, besides Singh and Sanda, for protesting against the electricity department by sitting on the road in front of Jamal Gate of the city.

The protest had reportedly led to a traffic jam with the demonstrators blocking the road.

Police have filed the chargesheet in the matter against all 36 people.

Singh was present in the court when charges were framed against him.

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.
