Under Operation Trishul, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has so far extradited 33 persons, involved in criminal activities, hiding in other countries. The initiative was launched in January 2022.

Agency officials said among the 33 extradited so far, six have been brought to India this year. Red Corner Notice (RCN) subject Mohammed Haneefa Makkatt wanted by the Kerala police in Kozhikode for the kidnapping and murder of Karim in 2006 was extradited from Saudi Arabia and brought back to India today, the officials said. Earlier, based on an Interpol RCN, the wanted accused was located in Saudi Arabia.

Interpol in Saudi Arabia informed the agency about the location of the accused and requested sending a team for taking the subject to India. The accused has been brought back by the Kerala Police.

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).
