Patiala, March 6

The special investigation team (SIT) today questioned SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia for over two hours in the drugs case at the Police Lines, Patiala.

Majithia was asked to provide details of his transactions, following which he sought four weeks’ time. However, the SIT gave him three weeks to gather all documents pertaining to the case.

Patiala (Range) DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar-led new SIT, which was formed on January 1, had earlier grilled Majithia about his financial transactions and links with those named in the drugs case on January 16. Majithia was again summoned on February 15 but it was postponed due to the farm agitation.

Addressing the mediapersons, Majithia said he was being targeted as he exposed the Punjab Government on regular basis. “I have nothing to hide. Whenever the SIT summons me, I appear before it,” he said.

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).
