The NIA has arrested a CRPF man for allegedly sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence officers.

A resident of Rajasthan, Jat was posted in Kashmir. His social media activities were under surveillance.The NIA found that he was receiving funds from the Pakistani officers through conduits.

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).
