New Delhi, June 17

Delhi Police today said they have filed a supplementary chargesheet against actor-activist Deep Sidhu and others in the Republic Day Red Fort violence case in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Gajendra Singh Nagar.

The court has fixed June 9 to pass the order on the point of cognisance of the fresh chargesheet, they said.

“The investigating officer of the case pointed out the names of the witnesses, who were severely injured or from whom the weapon was snatched,” the court noted.

On January 26, protesting farmers clashed with the police during the tractor rally against three farm laws and stormed into the Red Fort injuring scores of policemen.

The crime branch is tasked with investigating the case. On May 17, it filed a 3,224-page chargesheet and sought prosecution of 16 persons, including Sidhu. — 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).
