Sessions court judge D V Shah awarded life imprisonment to Manish Balai for bludgeoning constable Chandrakant Makwana to death inside the crime branch headquarters at Gaekwad Haveli in the city in April 2016.

Balai, a native of Rajasthan, was brought to the crime branch office for questioning in connection with a robbery case and was kept in the crime branch premises, where he bludgeoned the constable to death with an iron rod, when the latter was asleep in the early hours of April 21.

The accused hit the policeman on the head and face and escaped. A day later, Balai was nabbed from Karjan railway station of Vadodara. — PTI

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).
