Gonda, February 1

An FIR has been registered against BJP’s Gonda MP Kirti Vardhan Singh and two police inspectors on the direction of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court for forcibly taking possession of a gurdwara here in September last year, police on Thursday said.

Superintendent of Police Vineet Jaiswal said that 50 to 60 others have also been included in this case registered with the Mankapur police station.

Acting on a writ petition filed by a woman named Gurbachan Kaur in connection with this incident on January 30 last year, the High Court had ordered to register a case against the accused.

The police had not lodged a case despite the court’s earlier order. The woman had approached the High Court when no case was registered for months.

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).
