Chandigarh, June 3

Claiming the hatching of a conspiracy by the investigating agency at the behest of “rival gangster” to kill Jaggu Bhagwanpuria in a fake encounter, his mother today moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court for providing her son with a bulletproof jacket. Petitioner Harjit Kaur even prayed for a bulletproof vehicle at all times for her son during “transit”. Similar directions were also sought by another petitioner, Amit Kumar, in his petition against the state of Haryana.

Harjit Kaur, through counsel Mandeep Kaushik, also prayed for issuance of directions for providing adequate security to her son inside/outside the jail premises under a senior police officer “to save his life from gangsters lodged in jail and from a fake encounter.

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).
