Fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi faced another legal setback on Thursday as the High Court of Justice, King’s Bench Division in London, firmly rejected his latest bail plea — the 10th since his arrest in 2019. He is presently lodged in a UK jail since March 2019 and has lost his extradition plea to India in connection with an alleged bank loan fraud case, which is being probed by the CBI and ED. The Crown Prosecution Service opposed the petition with support from a high-level team from the CBI.

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).
