A special NIA court here on Saturday granted the national agency 10-day custody of two accused in the Rameshwaram Cafe blast case for further investigation.

Mussavir Hussain Shazib and Adbul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa were produced before a National Investigation Agency special court judge today. The accused were brought to the state capital from Kolkata on transit remand, for their alleged role in the March 1 blast at Rameshwaram Cafe here, which left 10 persons injured. According to the NIA, Shazib placed an improvised explosive device at the cafe and Taahaa was the mastermind. Last month, the NIA announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh each for those providing information leading to the arrest of the accused.

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).
