The NIA today said it had arrested three ISIS militants from Anantnag district in connection with the ISIS Voice of Hind case. The accused, Umar Nisar, Tanveer Ahmad Bhat and Rameez Ahmad, hail from Anantnag. The NIA had registered the case on June 29 in connection with the conspiracy of the terrorist organisation to radicalise and recruit youth to wage violent attacks against India.

The agency recovered incriminating documents, digital devices and T-shirts with ISIS logo after it searched their premises on Sunday. “An India-Centric online propaganda magazine — the Voice of Hind — is published on monthly basis with an aim to incite and radicalise impressionable youth,” a senior NIA official said. The accused had been using cyberspace to propagate the inciting material, he added. — TNS

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).
