Former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba died at a state-run hospital here due to health-related complications on Saturday. Saibaba, who was in his 50s, breathed his last around 9 pm, an official said.

He died due to gall bladder infection and other complications, he said.

The Bombay High Court in March this year acquitted Saibaba in an alleged Maoist links case, noting the prosecution failed to prove the case against him.

Meanwhile, Left-backed All-India Students’ Association on Saturday grieved the death of GN Saibaba and hailed him for his courage and commitment to justice.

“Adieu Professor! Your indomitable spirit, courage, and commitment to justice will inspire us forever. Rest in Power!” AISA said in a post on X.

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).
