Malerkotla SSP Ravjot Grewal has formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the case registered against former DGP Mohammad Mustafa for alleged hate speech. Mustafa is a husband of Congress candidate Razia Sultana and is a chief strategic adviser to PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Grewal said, “The SIT includes SP (D) and DSP (D) of Malerkotla. We have formed the SIT to investigate the case.” The Malerkotla police (City-1) have registered a case under Section 153-A of the IPC (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth and residence) and 125 of the Representation of People Act 1950, 1951 and 1989, against Mustafa. —

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).
