Chandigarh, January 28

Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira was released from the central jail in Patiala on Friday, a day after the Punjab and Haryana High Court granted him bail.

The Enforcement Directorate arrested Khaira in November in connection with its money laundering investigations.

The Punjab and Haryana granted him regular bail on a personal bond of Rs 5 lakh. The court said Khaira could not leave the high court’s jurisdiction without permission from the special court trying the case, would hand over his passport to investigators, and appear before the trial court every week.

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).
