India is extending help to Amit Gupta, a citizen from Gujarat’s Vadodara, who has been wrongfully detained in Qatar for allegedly stealing data. Gupta, who worked as the country head at Tech Mahindra in Doha, has been held by Qatar’s State Security for three months, according to his family.

The Indian Embassy in Qatar is aware of Gupta’s detention and has been in regular contact with his family, lawyer, and Qatari authorities. The embassy is providing all possible assistance and closely following the case.

Gupta’s family insists that he is innocent and has been falsely accused of data theft. They are demanding his urgent release and have sought the intervention of the Prime Minister’s Office.

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).
