“Chaturvedi had moved an application with the Chandigarh Police on Monday evening, saying he had filed RS nomination papers, and that he feared for his life. Thus, security cover was provided to him. He went to the Vidhan Sabha under police cover and while he was being brought back, the vehicle was intercepted by unknown vehicle. The men in that vehicle said Chaturvedi was wanted in a case registered against him. Inspector Narinder Patial asked for documents to arrest him, which they could not provide then,” a senior officer of Chandigarh Police told The Tribune.

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).
