The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Kotkapura police firing incident on Wednesday summoned SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal for questioning on June 26.

The SIT has summoned Sukhbir Badal as he was the home minister when the Kotkapura police firing took place on October 14, 2015.

The probe panel has already questioned the then Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini.

The SIT is probing that who gave the clearance to the district police for opening firing at the mob protesting sacrilege incidents and if the police action 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).
