The high court also granted anticipatory bail to NewsClick director Pranjal Pandey in the case registered by Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW).

In 2021, the high court granted interim protection from arrest to Purkayastha and Pandey in the cases. A detailed order is awaited.

EOW has alleged PPK NewsClick Studio Pvt Ltd received foreign direct investment of Rs 9.59 crore from Worldwide Media Holdings LLC USA during the financial year 2018-19 in violation of the relevant law.

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).
