The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has formally raised with the US Embassy in New Delhi the case of an Indian national who was allegedly handcuffed at Newark Airport in New Jersey.

The Indian Embassy in Washington DC and the Consulate General in New York are in touch with US authorities to ascertain the facts of the incident, including the circumstances under which the individual was restrained.

So far, no details have been provided by the US side regarding the nature of the incident, the flight the person was scheduled to board, or his final destination. The MEA said it is actively following up on the matter.

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).
