The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Kotkapura police firing incident will conduct a second round of questioning of ex-DGP Sumedh Singh Saini at Punjab Police Officer’s Institute in Mohali’s sector 32 at 11 am on Monday.

It has also summoned suspended IG Paramraj Singh Umranangal and other officers concerned with the 2015 incident in which cops opened fire at a mob protesting against the sacrilege incidents.

Saini was DGP at that time.

The SIT is probing who ordered the firing at the mob and whether it was justified.

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).
