A special court in Mumbai has convicted two ISIS operatives for trying to radicalise Muslim youths to join the Islamic State (IS), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said today.

In its chargesheet, the NIA alleged that the convicted persons — Rizwan Ahmed and Mohsin Ibrahim Sayyed — were involved in instigating Muslim youths to travel abroad and become members of the IS/ISIL/ISIS to wage a war against India.

In 2015, a case in this respect was lodged with the Mumbai’s Kalachowki police station. — 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).
