Charged with criminal conspiracy and extortion, Barjinder Singh, aka Makhan, 54, son of a former Punjab minister in the SAD government, was acquitted in the infamous Moga sex scandal as two key witnesses had turned hostile.

CBI prosecutor Anmol Narang said, “Prosecution witness councillor Inderjit Singh and Bharat Bhushan, husband of a councillor, turned hostile in the case.”

According to investigating officer Karmail Singh, Barjinder had allegedly demanded Rs 2 lakh from victims Inderjit Singh and Bharat Bhushan, but both prosecution witnesses falsified the allegation in the court.

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).
