Srinagar, February 16

Three men were arrested on Thursday for allegedly threatening journalists and making “anti-national” statements during a press conference in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, the police said.

The arrested men have been identified as Suhail Khan, Nadeem Shafi Rather and Umar Majeed Wani, the Srinagar police said. “They were self-styled leaders. They threatened and intimidated mediapersons, gave anti-national statements in a press conference,” the police tweeted. They have been booked at Kothibagh police station under relevant sections of law and are being interrogated.

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).
