New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday appointed a three-member inquiry commission headed by former apex court judge VS Sirpurkar to inquire into the circumstances leading to the “encounter” killing of the four accused in the gangrape and murder of a veterinarian in Telangana. The commission, which also includes former Bombay High Court judge Rekha Sondur Baldota and ex-CBI Director DR Karthikeyan, will submit its report to the apex court in six months.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).
