Vijay Singla, legal expert attached with the Kotkpaura police firing Special Investigation Team (SIT), has resigned from the probe panel on the eve of questioning of SAD president and former deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Singla was in the middle of a row during the questioning of ex-CM Parkash Singh Badal. The Akali leadership alleged the SIT officials posed Singla as a Deputy Superintendent of Police. Later, a government official told media persons that Singla, a retired Director-Prosecution and Litigation was attached with the SIT as a legal expert.

Confirming his resignation, Singla told The Tribune that he has resigned due to family circumstances.

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).
