New Delhi, February 15

Five days after the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court granted him bail, Ashish Mishra, son of MoS (Home) Ajay Mishra and prime accused in the Lakhimpur violence case, walked out of the district jail on Tuesday evening.

BKU leader Rakesh Tikait said the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) would move the Supreme Court for seeking physical hearing in the case. He said the prosecution in Uttar Pradesh had failed to make substantive submissions during the online hearing on Ashish’s bail plea due to power outage.

Granted bail on February 10, Ashish was released after completing formalities today.

Urging the UP voters to “punish” the BJP, the SKM on Tuesday said the BJP failed to keep its promises despite PM’s assurances.

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).
