Mohali, April 6

SAD leader Bikramjit Singh Majithia, an accused in a drugs case, has filed a fresh application in a Mohali court alleging security threat and poor living conditions in jail after which the court put jail authorities on notice to file reply by April 8.

Majithia, through his counsels HS Dhanoa, Arshdeep Singh Kler and DS Sobti, complained that he was moved to ‘Jora Chakki’ cell, which was in bad condition. Further, there is no water in the toilet, he stated. The former cabinet minister stated that it was done to humiliate and torture him.

Jail Superintendent Sucha Singh Patiala, while appearing in person to file the reply, submitted Majithia had been kept in Patiala Central Jail in accordance with the provisions of the Punjab jail manual and rules. The applicant was provided adequate security, he added. —

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).
