Chandigarh, April 6

Punjab Police have detained PTC TV MD Rabindra Narayan for questioning regarding an FIR lodged by a Miss Punjab contestant recently.

She had alleged that she was locked up in a hotel room and the PTC staff misbehaved with her.

PTC organises the beauty contest annually.

Reacting to the development, a spokesperson for PTC Network said, “This is a politically motivated move. The SIT formed in the case has already recorded the statement of our MD Rabindra Narayan. He has been supportive in the probe and has submitted all DVRs to the police. Moreover, main accused Nancy Ghumman and Bhupinder Singh have nothing to do with PTC Network. They were never associated with us.”

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).
