The National Investigation Agency has arrested Abdur Rahman (28), an ophthalmologist at MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bengaluru, in connection with the Islamic State Khorasan Province case.

“During interrogation, Rahman confessed to have conspired with Syria-based IS operatives to further their activities. He was in the process of developing a medical application for helping injured IS cadres in conflict-zones,” a senior NIA official said. — TNS

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).
