Ludhiana, June 7

Congress MP from Ludhiana Ravneet Singh Bittu on Tuesday received a threat call on his personal assistant’s mobile phone, saying he will meet the same fate as his late party colleague and singer Sidhu Moosewala.

The call was received from an unknown caller, claimed his PA Harjinder Singh.

Bittu is the grandson of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh who was assassinated in 1995.

The unknown caller threatened that Bittu will meet the same fate as Moosewala, he said.

Moosewala was shot dead in Punjab’s Mansa on May 29.

Earlier on Sunday, a letter had threatened that Bollywood actor Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan will meet the fate of Moosewala.

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).
