Cops at the City-2 police station in Mansa have registered a case against the wife of a Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader for allegedly tampering with government documents by making a “fake” Aadhaar card and using it to get a fake voter ID.

The complaint was filed by the Electoral Registration Officer. The police have booked Sukhbir Kaur, wife of Nirvair Singh Burj Hari, senior vice-president of SAD, Mansa. According to the police, Sukhbir Kaur prepared a fake Aadhaar card, tampered with government records, and got her name added to the voter list of the Mansa Assembly constituency, while she lives abroad.

On receiving the complaint, Mansa DSP Boota Singh Gill, acting on an inquiry sent by the SDM, recommended the registration of a case against Sukhbir Kaur for making the voter ID through fraudulent means.

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).
