A Mohali court has stayed the impugned order of a polygraph test of cops in a case pertaining to the interview of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi during police custody till the next date of hearing.

The court also issued a notice to the respondent/state for April 28, besides summoning the SHO for the date fixed.

It was contended that the consent for the test was taken under threat and coercion. Earlier, the court had ordered voluntary polygraph test of ASI Mukhtiar Singh, constables Simranjeet Singh, Harpreet Singh, Balwinder Singh, Satnam Singh, and Amritpal Singh, all posted at CIA Staff, Kharar.

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).
