The NIA today said it had arrested another accused, Hany Babu Musaliyarveettil Tharayil, an associate professor with University of Delhi, in connection with the Bhima Koregaon Elgar Parishad case. Hany Babu (54), is a resident of Gautam Buddha Nagar in UP.

Officials said Hany Babu would be produced before a NIA special court in Mumbai on Wednesday to seek his police remand for interrogation. Officials alleged Babu was propagating Naxal activities and Maoist ideology and was a co-conspirator with other arrested accused in the case.

They said the case pertains to inciting people and giving provocative speeches during Elgar Parishad at Shaniwarwada, Pune, on December 31, 2017, which led to large scale violence, loss of life and property and state-wide agitation in Maharashtra. — 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).
