A special Enforcement Directorate (ED) court framed charges against former Forest Minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on March 18.

“Charges have been framed for the said offence against the accused. Contents of same have been read over and explained to accused Sadhu Singh Dharamsot through video-conferencing, to which, he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial. The scanned copy of the chargesheet be sent to the jail superintendent concerned through email,” the order read.

On March 11, the court in another PMLA case issued proclamation under Section 82 of the CrPC for Harpreet Singh, son of Sadhu Singh Dharamsot. The non-bailable warrants for Harpreet Singh were received back unserved.

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).
