Jalandhar, July 21

The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Sarabjit Singh Dhaliwal, today dismissed bail application of Punjabi actor Rana Jang Bahadur, who was arrested in Jalandhar two weeks ago following a complaint lodged against him for his derogatory remarks against Bhagwan Valmiki in a TV show.

The actor was booked under Section 439 of the CrPC, Sections 295 and 295A of the IPC and Section 3 of the SC/ ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Various SC organisations had held protests against the actor in Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur and other cities.

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).
