New Delhi, August 17

The CBI coordinated with the NIA to bring back an alleged gold smuggler, who was facing an Interpol red notice, from Saudi Arabia, officials said on Thursday.

In a statement, the Central Bureau of Investigation said its Global Operations Centre, through Interpol channels, had facilitated the return of Mohabbat Ali, a Red Notice Subject, in coordination with the National Investigation Agency and Interpol NCB-Riyadh.

“He was brought to India from Saudi Arabia on August 17. The said Red Notice Subject was wanted by the NIA,” a CBI spokesperson said.

He said the Interpol red notice was issued on September 13, 2021 based on a request by the NIA.

A case for conspiring for illegal smuggling of gold bars from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, into India was registered against Ali by the NIA, he added.

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).
