Chennai, June 29

The Madras High Court’s Madurai Bench on Monday asked the Tuticorin District Collector to depute officials from the Revenue Department to take control of the Sathankulam police station.

Edit: Institutionalised brutality

The court also initiated criminal contempt case against three policemen as the Kovilpatti Judicial Magistrate had reported that the Tuticorin police were preventing him from carrying his inquiry in the custodial death of P Jeyaraj and J Bennicks.

The TN Government passed an order transferring the probe into their death to the CBI. Jeyaraj died on June 22 night and Bennicks on June 23 morning in custody. — IANS

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).
