According to the sources, the committee has sent the names to the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, which would finally pick one of them for the post.

The names of three candidates, which were discussed, included Praveen Sood (1986-batch Karnataka cadre), Dinkar Gupta (1987-batch Punjab cadre) and Sushir Saxena (1987-batch MP cadre), the sources said.

While Gupta is currently heading the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Saxena is the Director General of Police of Madhya Pradesh and Sood is helming the Karnataka 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).
