Taking cognisance of a CBI chargesheet against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the Pul Bangash killings during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, a Delhi court on Wednesday asked him to appear before it on August 5.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidhi Gupta Anand issued summons to Tytler after taking cognisance of the CBI chargesheet filed on May 20. Around 3,000 people, mostly Sikhs, had died in the riots in the national capital in the aftermath of assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984. Three persons were killed and a gurdwara was torched in the Pul Bangash area here on November 1, 1984. & PTI

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).
