Patiala, February 14

Four jail inmates of the Patiala Central jail have been booked for allegedly using a mobile phone, here on Thursday. The jail officials said a single mobile phone was being used by all the four inmates who were in the same zone of the jail.

In fact, jail officials — during a random checking of the said zone — recovered a touch screen mobile phone which was, allegedly, being used by all the four accused — turn by turn.

After receiving the complaint from jail officials, the Patiala police have already booked the accused — under Section 52- A of the Prisons Act. The accused have been identified as Bhupinder Singh, Parwinder Singh, Harinder Singh and Sunil Kumar. Meanwhile, the Patiala police said that they had registered a case and started the investigation.

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).
