Ludhiana, September 6

Ex-MLA and Lok Insaaf Party chief Simarjit Bains has moved a local court, seeking bail in a rape case.

On July 11, Bains along with other accused had surrendered before a local court following a Supreme Court order. He remained in police custody for over a week. Thereafter, he was sent to judicial custody. He is presently lodged in the Barnala jail.

Claiming to be innocent, Bains asserted that he had become a victim of a conspiracy hatched by his opponents.

The bail plea will come up for hearing tomorrow.

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).
