Patiala, January 16

SAD leader Bikram Majithia appeared before the SIT on Tuesday to explain his position in the drugs case registered against him.

The fourth Special Investigation Team formed to probe charges of drugs smuggling against Majithia had summoned the leader at the Police Lines here.

The Patiala Range DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar-led new SIT, which was formed on January 1, had asked Majithia to appear for further questioning.

Bhullar heads the three-member SIT with Patiala SSP Varun Sharma and Dhuri SP Yogesh Sharma as its members.

The need to reconstitute the SIT arose following the retirement of Patiala ADGP MS Chhina on December 30. Earlier, the SIT had summoned Majithia on December 18.

Majithia was booked in December 2021 on the basis of a 2018 report submitted by anti-drugs STF head Harpreet Singh Sidhu.

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).
