faridkot, June 11

As part of its probe into sacrilege incidents, the new special investigation team (SIT) of the Punjab Police today produced two witnesses in the court of Judicial Magistrate here in connection with the alleged pasting of blasphemous posters at Burj Jawahar Singh Wala and scattering of pages (angs) of a stolen ‘bir’ at Bargari.

Those produced included Gopal Krishan, a shopkeeper of Bargari, from whom the paper and pen were allegedly purchased by the accused and Yadwinder Singh of Dhilwan village, who claimed to have witnessed ‘bir’ incident.

The SIT claimed the accused were upset with the state government for not allowing the release of movie ‘MSG-2’. Probing the Kotkapura firing incident, another SIT reached Faridkot to record the statements of the witnesses. — TNS

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).
