A Special Investigation Team instituted by the Punjab and Haryana to investigate the Kotkapura firing held its first meeting at the Vigilance Bhawan in Mohali on Monday, an official press release said.

The press release said that the SIT, which has been given six months by the court to conclude its investigations, met to discuss modalities to conduct a “thorough investigation” into the firing incident of October 14, 2015, when alleged police action on protesters holding demonstrations against incidents of sacrilege in the state killed two protesters.

Investigators have set up a new email ID, newsit2021kotkapuracase@gmail.com, and have a dedicated WhatsApp number 9875983237, which has no calling facility, for any new evidence the public may have in the case.

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).
